+.RI [ option ]
+.\"
+.\" DESCRIPTION chapter
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Data for Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) are usually stored in a format known
+as JEDEC, basically a text file allowing insertion of further information by
+programmers.
+.PP
+MAME uses a raw binary representation of the same data, in order to
+achieve correct identification of PLD data through CRC and SHA1 algorithms
+(i.e. with the \-romident option).
+.PP
+.B jedutil
+provides an easy way to convert PLDs data between these two formats.

+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-convert \fIinputfile outputfile \fR[\fIfuses\fR]
+Converts JEDEC data between file formats. Both .jed (JEDEC) and .pla
+(Berkeley standard PLA) files can be converted to a .bin (binary) file,
+while a binary file can be converted to a .jed file only.
+.TP
+.B \-view \fIinputfile device
+Dump logic equations. \fIinputfile\fR can be either a JED or binary file.
+.TP
+.B \-viewlist
+View list of supported devices.
