This is a request to anyone who might have a program called Daisy Dot III (a
text formatter for graphics printers).  I recently tried out Daisy Dot II,
but it didn't work too well with my Legend printer, which is Epson-compatible,
except for graphics (at 1280 dots per line, instead of 960).  What happens is
that the text looks like it's a bit squished to the left, and it leaves the
right part of the page empty.

I figure the newer version of the program has more printer drivers, and that
it might also have more features, so if anyone has it, please upload it either
here as a uuencoded ARC, or to the new ftp archives at 35.1.33.8
(terminator.cc.umich.edu).

While I'm at it I might add that some of the stuff at terminator could use
some updating.  There are newer versions of superarc/unarc, Textpro, and MyDos, 
unless I'm mistaken.  And judging from some recent posts, some people might
like to see some SX212 handlers and terminal programs too (myself included).
I'll be taking care of uploading a new Kermit-65 once I finish updating it for
XEP80 support, and perhaps Xmodem.

I might just add that there's a program called T:Edit (TEDIT.COM on terminator)
which doesn't work (the file was cut short by someone), so don't bother
downloading that unless it's been replace (the bad one is 6169 bytes long).
