on Jul 31 |
| Ok, now building the array |
on Jul 31 |
| *lol@horse-power -- good luck! |

| Having troubles here ...with PUT | Anonymous on Aug 1 |
| Did you use GET or BLOAD to establish the Array data? |
on Aug 1 |
| I'm following the tutorial, section font and printing routines |
on Aug 1 |
| To begin with, 10 integers are not enough to hold a 26x28 pixel character... |
on Aug 1 |
| About the first two elements in the array... |
on Aug 1 |
| I got confused about the height value or the array index |
on Aug 1 |
| *Exactly ;-) |
on Aug 1 |
| Still in big troubles... |
on Aug 2 |
| I checked that the array is nicely populated |
on Aug 2 |
| * x1% and x2% both stay at -1... |
on Aug 2 |
| * Ok i had to replace the color statement of course :) |
on Aug 2 |
| It doesn't work in your situation... |
on Aug 2 |
| Well i printed something |

on Aug 2 |
| Mazel tov ? | Lisztfr on Aug 2 |
| Now it makes sense... |
on Aug 2 |
| My printing routine doesn't work :( |
on Aug 3 |
| Why not just use all 224 of the indexes over 31? |
on Aug 3 |
| Yes i thought about case... |
on Aug 3 |
| That's OK, just load another bitmap LOL |
on Aug 3 |
| Don't your accented letters follow tilde? ... |
on Aug 3 |
| That 's close to what i ment |

| Well, Screen 2 is not exactly flattering for any font |

| Top-ten reasons for using graphics mode... |
on Aug 8 |
| ROFL... but you are wrong about reason #1... |
on Aug 8 |
| *Point taken -- and I didn't even have to lie down ;-) |
on Aug 9 |
| I think we discussed that... |
on Aug 4 |
| We discussed that and i tried it | Lisztfr on Aug 4 |
| *Yes, squashing can ruin images, especially monochrome -- anyway, congratulations :-) |
on Aug 4 |
| There are a couple of errors... |

| trying to save the array | Lisztfr on Aug 21 |
| i should have better read the bsave demo | Anonymous on Aug 21 |
| It's still not working... | Lisztfr on Aug 21 |
| Yes, you have to be careful to save the right number of bytes... |
on Aug 21 |
| It might be no where ??? :) | Lisztfr on Aug 21 |
| humm | Lisztfr on Aug 21 |
| There are ways to reduce the size of the array during the re-GET... |
on Aug 21 |
| thanks ! | Lisztfr on Aug 21 |
| *You're welcome -- lol -- we're all capable of "such mistakes". It's called being human. |

on Jul 25 |
| I'll need more specific information... |
on Jul 25 |
| SubScript out of range |
on Jul 25 |
| *That might explain it -- as originally coded, it works fine. |
on Jul 25 |
| * Arghhhhhh! I was trying 0 to 640 instead of 639. Thanks! |
on Jul 25 |
| *Sure, the POINT value at x:640 would be -1, which would definitely be "out of range". |
on Jul 25 |
| I found a way to speed up the FourBit SUB |
on Jul 26 |
| *As the man said, "Now why the hell didn't I think of that!". Nice call. |
on Jul 26 |
| I was just gonna skip over it, but why not use the info? LOL |

| Thanks for testing it Bob |
on Jul 22 |
| Here is a File Size function for BSAVE routines |
on Jul 20 |

| Something to fix ? |
on Jul 15 |
| There is no real fix for large images, but other changes are needed |
on Jul 15 |

on Jul 16 |
| You know, of course, that SCREEN 2 only has 2 attributes... |
on Jul 16 |

| That probably won't apply to your palmtop... |
on Jul 21 |
| I use a skin softener on my palmtops ! |
on Jul 21 |
| *I tried your suggestion, but the images were all blurry after that. |
