Any›          standard 9 sector Atari 8x8 font can be converted to›          Daisy-Dot format, with options for double height and/or›          double width.›          ›          ›          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION›          ›               This program was written in Lightspeed C.  A runtime›          package has been appended to it so it can be used with›          almost any DOS, including SpartaDOS, MyDOS, SmartDOS, and›          DOS 2.5.  It works on older 400/800 models as well as the›          XL/XE models.  Execute the program in the same manner you›          would run a standard machine language file.›          ›               You are first prompted for the name of the Atari font›          to read from.  Pressing 1-8 will show a disk directory.›          This is the only prompt from which a directory is›          available.  Upon entering the filename, the entire font›          will be read into memory.›          ›               The next two prompts allow for any of the four›          possible combinations of single height, double height,›          single width, and double width.  Double height and single›          width is the most practical combination.  Note that using›          double width or double height results in lower resolution›          than fonts designed specifically for Daisy-Dot.  However,›          you can always edit the font from Daisy-Dot and smooth out›          the rough spots.›          ›               Finally, enter the filename of the Daisy-Dot›          destination font.  If the file can be opened successfully,›          the conversion process will begin.  You are shown which›          character of the total 91 characters is being converted.›          The illegal values 155 and 13 are converted to 153 and 9›          "on the fly."  Once the conversion is done, the font is›          written to the destination filename.›          ›               Once the process is complete, press 'Q' to exit to DOS›          or any other key to run the program again.›          ›               If you have any questions or comments, I can be›          reached on CompuServe (72347,3705) and GEnie (RGOLDMAN).›          ›››››::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
