    Agate 0.69 uses an optional DHR graphics screen to display the IBM
extended character set (you can still switch back to the text screen, if you
want).  The copy I have has both ZModem and YModem-4K downloading.  I've used
the ZModem protocol successfully on several IBM and Macintosh BBS's.  There is
a copy up on the tybalt anonymous FTP server.
