Someone in my office is preparing a program on a DOS machine (don't ask
me why!) and he'd like to transfer the listing over to a Mac for
printing on our Laserwriter. But here's the rub: the listing includes
DOS High Ascii characters (i.e. graphics characters) which he's using
to draw lines indicating logical connections within the program.
Unfortunately, the standard Mac fonts have completely different
definitions for these ascii values.

I tried using Word to search and replace the special characters with
the closest analogues I could find, but the results were far from
spectacular. I wonder if there might be a font out there (preferably
one with constant spacing, like Courier or Monaco) which has the same
graphic character set as in DOS. Then I could just convert the whole
document to this font and print it out...or does anyone have a better
suggestion?

Thanks in advance,

Elliot Wilen
