                     12: creates extended tables for use with
                     13: .I iptroff
                     14: so that full 16 bit characters can be addressed.
                     15: .PP
                     16: The Xerox Character Encoding Standard specifies a character set of 65K
                     17: characters.  Typesetter-Independent
                     18: .I troff
                     19: only uses 8 bit characters in its internal representation.  Therefore,
                     20: the postprocessor
                     21: .I dipress
                     22: must be able to map from 8 bit characters to 16 bit characters.  The
                     23: work-around is based on the fact that
                     24: .I makedev
                     25: will ignore any text beyond the fourth data field in a font description file.
                     26: If the typesetting code (the fourth field) is octal 0377 then
                     27: .I makextdev
                     28: expects a fifth field which contains the octal code 
                     29: for the true 16 bit character.
                     30: .PP
