- I wrote this program as an effort to repair
- the headers in Borland Stroked Font files
- (filename.CHR) that are (at my house)
- damaged as a result of a SAVE action by the
- Borland Font Editor FE.EXE, found in the
- BGI Toolkit BGIKIT.ZIP.
-
- I love the font editor, but it trashes files!
- Here, at least, is my solution.

- * Syntax: FEFIX [fontfilename] [FE-]
-
- * The fontfilename is the name of the damaged font file.
- The FE- means do NOT execute FE.EXE
-
- * FEFIX by itself will execute .\FE.EXE so that you may
- edit a font file, which should be then SAVED. The
- resulting file has a damaged header (signature).
- Next, FEFIX will prompt you for the file name of the
- damaged fontfile, and repair it for you.
-
- * Fontfiles are identified by two ^H's in the third and
- fourth bytes of the file.
- * Damaged files are identified by a '+' character
- at offset $80, identifying stroked font files (Borland).
-
-
- Usage: Just enter FEFIX on the command line. FEFIX execute the font
- editor (FE.exe). Then FEFIX will ask you for a font filename.
-
- Or, enter FEFIX SANS.CHR (or whatever damaged file you have).
- FEFIX will execute the font editor (FE.exe) and then will
- repair the damaged header for you.
-
- If you don't want to run the editor just include FE- on the
- command line.
