Look at www.mdm1.bravepages.com follow DMX973B link.  Then take your choice
of C or JAL versions.  JAL version is in the proportional width font (5x7)
zip file while the C version is in the fixed width font (5x7) zip file.
Instead of a terminator it uses fixed width data (6 bytes) with the first
byte containing the width information.
