If you have played with Rainbird's Advanced OCP Art Studio, you'll know that the picture can be compressed before saving. Unfortunately there is no way of decompressing these pictures from Basic - a pity as they take up less than half the ram-space of conventional screens. Stuart Lockey of Weybridge. Surrey, has come up with the answer a program to expand the compressed screens. There are two programs. The first. Writer. writes and saves the code to do the expanding. Run the second listing which loads the code as high in memory as possible It also stores the Call address in a variable, expand. All you have to do is load the compressed picture at &4000 and CALL expand. AA |
