- Another program that can print out user-defined character sets is Daisy
- Dot III. What's more is since the 8x8 is converted to DDIII, you can
- edit the DDIII and make it look better for print out. The only things I
- see wrong with it is I THINK that DDIII's font utilities (the thing that
- changes chsets to DDIIIs) does them proportionally, which aint good for
- program listings. I think some helpful features needed in DDIII are:
-
- 1) inverse (simply print out 255 minus whatever bytes was GOING to be
- printed)
- 2) proportional off (makes all the characters have the same lengths)
- 3) disk swaps (lets you swap disks if a file (ie-font) isn't found...
- it'd be VERY helpful because for some reason DDIII hates
- my drive 2)
-
- But I've already mentioned this to Roy...as well as to David Richardson,
- who Roy thinks knows more about DDIII than he does!
