The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Member      Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
pcmMagic    Contains the magic number 3244 (0x0CAC). The Printer Font
            Installer uses it to recognize PCM files when no FINSTALL.DIR
            file is supplied with the PCM file.
 
pcmVersion  Contains the version number of the PCM file. The upper byte
            contains the version number and the lower byte the revision
            number, both in BCD.
 
pcmSize     Contains the size (in bytes) of the entire PCM file.
 
pcmTitle    Specifies the offset from the beginning of the file to the title
            string for the cartridge.
 
pcmPFMList  Specifies the offset from the beginning of the file to the first
            PFM.
