  FROMBIT, FROMBIT_R  -- Binary File Generation Utilities
==============================================================================

This utility takes a textual bit-dump (such as what 'tobit' and friends
produce) and generates a binary file as its output.  This can be useful
for editing binary files with an ordinary text editor.  Also, it can be
useful for creating new binary files from scratch using a human-readable
source format.

Usage:

    frombit   [input [output]]
    frombit_r [input [output]]

Where 'input' is the input filename, and 'output' is the output filename.
If the input filename is not specified, or is given as '-', then the
input is taken from stdin.  If the output filename is not specified,
or is given as '-', then the output will go to stdout.

The input format is quite simple.  Frombit and frombit_r expect 1 digit
binary numbers separated by zero or more characters of whitespace.
All text to the right of a '#' is ignored.  This can be useful for
writing comments, or whatever.

The astute reader will notice that the above rules allow 'frombit'
to take the output from 'tobit' seamlessly.  This is purposeful.
Fromhex does not require rigid adherence to the 'tobit' output format
though.

The frombit_r utility differs from frombit in that bits are packed 
into each byte from right to left, rather than from left to right.
Frombit will place the first bit into bit 7 of byte 0.  Frombit_r
will place the first bit in bit 0 of byte 0.

Example:

  ## FONT FILE

  00000001    #  Slash character
  00000010    #
  00000100    #
  00001000    #
  00010000    #
  00100000    #
  01000000    #
  10000000    #

  00000000    #  Heart character
  01100110    #
  11111111    #
  11111111    #
  01111110    #
  00111100    #
  00011000    #
  00000000    #

The above will generate a 16-byte file.
