💅 makeacm 💅

okay bestie, so makeacm is a little Perl script that produces an acm file from a character set definition. that's the whole vibe. it's giving tiny tool, big purpose. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

makeacm charset-file >file.acm

like. you hand it a charset-file, it screams the acm straight out to stdout, and you redirect that into file.acm. no cap. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie: this script makes an application console map (acm) file out of a charset definition. 🫶

where do you even get a charset definition tho? you download it from ftp.unicode.org — or, alternatively, you can grab those files from the catdoc distribution. either one works, we're not picky. 🙈

also, .sfm files may be used too. 👑

one (1) requirement, and it's non-negotiable: the Unicode::String module from CPAN is required. no module, no acm, that's just how it is. 💀

Public domain. Made on Earth. 🌍

like, genuinely public domain. no strings, no lawyers, no drama. and it was made on Earth, which is honestly iconic of it. 🌈
