Notes on PS-ASCII.EXE:

This is a quickie Toolbook app written to eliminate the need for 
keeping up with those ASCII/ANSI font charts in the back of every
PostScript retail font package. I use certain characters (the
trademark and copyright symbols, bullets) enough to have learned
their ASCII codes, but using others has me constantly searching
for those charts. That's how this program was born.

What in the application? Well, I've included a chart for one 
san-serif font (Helvetica), one serif font (Times Roman), the
Symbol font, and Zapf Dingbats. This covers most of what anyone
should need in the way of character references (no pun intended).
Most standard fonts in the Adobe catalog are covered by one of 
the entries in this application. Notable exceptions are the 
Carta (map) font, the Sonata (music) font, and anything in the 
Adobe Expert collection series of fonts. If there is enough 
interest shown in this application, I plan to write a version
in C/Windows SDK with the ability to access the font map of 
all installed fonts on a given Windows system. Another proposed 
feature would be the ability to point and click on a character,
pasting it directly to the keyboard. Let me here from you.

This program is intended to distributed as freeware. (At least
it will be worth every nickel you pay for it.) If you have the 
full version of Toolbook, click in the lower right-hand corner
of the application area, in the blank spot. There is a hidden
button that will take you into the "author" mode. Feel free to 
modify whatever you like for your own use. 

If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please contact
me at my CompuServe address: 76427,2217. I'd like to hear from
you if you find this application useful.
