WITHFONT: Run program on EGA/VGA with a given font. Ver 1.2. Aug 21 1992
Copyright (c) 1991 by Yossi Gil, P.O.Box 3148, Jerusalem, ISRAEL.
Usage: withfont <fontfile> <command> [args]
Will run <command> on <args> using a text-mode font loaded from <fontfile>.
The fontfile name should be of the form *.fYY, where YY is the font height
in pixels (a 2 digit number in the range 04-32). If the font height cannot be
determined from the file name, then it is set o the file size divided by 256.
The font load will not be effected by command changing the video mode.
WITHFONT is a good cure of the MS-DOS 3.3+ nlsfunc, CodePage blurb.
EXAMPLE withfont cp862.f16 hebedit hebfile
BUGS o Executed command should not go TSR.
o Internal commands ('DIR' and such) will not be located
o Does not work on adapters other than EGA/VGA
