ARRRGh!!!
I' ve just spent a futile 30 minutes doing my damnedest to
get fast fonts to work on my system.

...

finally, getting pissed off, I typed out the FF executible in
hex mode, and I see that there are a whole load of command line options
such as   B, 8, 9 , 0  F   N   Q  and 1
the enhancer manual only mentions the 0 and n options....

so, two questions....

What do i do to get FF to substitute cleanII in place of ugly little topaz,
what are the other command line options, and OOPS, thirdly,
what to i do to reset my cli when it gets put into the alternate
charater set when you type an executible without the opt h

/* End of text from s.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.sys.amiga */

According to the docs I recieved with TxEd Plus, the command line options
for FF are as follows:

-8 Replace only the TOPAZ80 font with specified font
-9 Replace only the TOPAZ60 font with specified font
-0 Don't replace any fonts; just turn on fast text
-1 Turn on fast text for TOPAZ11 (good for interlace)
-q Turn off fast text

Hope this helps.  (It doesn't mention B, N, or F options ...)
