# Character Set Definer

This program will help you redesign your own character set. After loading your will be asked to enter the address where the codes will be stored. [Default number:50000]

There are 4 commands, Next, File, Edit and Move cursor. To choose any of the commands just press the first letter.

The “Next” command will compile the redesigned character to the cursor, then move the cursor to the next character.

The “Edit” command lets you edit any character, to choose a character just move the cursor the the appropriate character. To move the cursor just use the joystick or the keyboard. The keys are Q-UP,A-DOWN,O-LEFT,P-RIGHT and SPACE replaces the joystick’s button. (same keys apply when designing the character)

The “Move” command will allow you to move the cursor without destroying your “working” character.

The “File” command will allow you to Save, Load, Clear the character set or, quit the program.

A file is provided after the program, using the file option just load TYPE STYLE.
