Radix User's Manual
download characters with the various print modes available with
Radix. Most of the commands that you learned in Chapter 7 work
with normal width download characters as well as standard char-
acters. A few of them will work with proportional download char-
acters as well. Table 11-3 summarizes the various print modes and
their compatibility with download characters.

A Utility Program
If you've followed along this far you've probably become
pretty proficient at designing download characters. And even the
addition is getting easier! But this is a good computer applica-
tion-computer
Aided Design (CAD) for download characters.
The program below allows you to design and edit characters on
the screen. You can make changes (no erasing!) until it's the way
you like it, and then the program makes the necessary calculations
and sends the character to Radix.
As you can see, at 205 lines this is quite a long program! How-
ever, if you want to use the full capabilities of Radix's download
characters, you'll really appreciate it.
Instructions
for using DLEDIT
The program screen is shown in Figure 11-17. Above the
main grid (where you actually place the dots) there are two infor-
mational lines.
