.SH DESCRIPTION
mda2psf converts the 14-pixel font in the character ROM used by IBM's MDA and
CGA video cards to PC Screen Font format. raw2psf(1) can handle most ROM dumps
(including the two 8-pixel fonts in this ROM), but the 14-pixel font requires
a specialised utility.

Assume the input file is in the format used by the Compaq CGA ROM, not the 
IBM MDA/CGA ROM.
