PCF files, like SNF files, are binary files, but the format is portable
across architectures. The data is stor

Is running ELKS in vmware, or dosemu an option? This is how most
development is done I think, and it means that you can test in the real
ELKS rather than an emulator.

I worked on getting up to date this weekend on the linux-86 devkit (v0.14.8)

I'm trying to get some more non-copyrighted fonts for micro-windows
use. I've found a good rom alternative, vga.pcf, which is part of the
dosemu distribution.
Does anyone know how to convert .pcf files to, say bdf?

Hello all and sundry,
I'm still plugging away at the Psion port (this weekend didn't see much work
as it took all of Saturday to put 2 IKEA shelves together, but I did get the
