Type in the following program, save it then run it and correct any errors. You will now have two new commands added to Locomotive Basic. Gcol , paper , pen will set the graphics paper and pen colours, which cannot be done directly on the CPC464. The other new command is Sprint which will print the specified text at graphics co-ordinates x,y in the current graphics colour, but in specially defined half width characters which double the number of columns available. The command should be used thus: 464 : a$="text"+Chr$(0): |Sprint,x,y,a$664/6128:|Sprint,x , y, "text''+Chr$(0)The utility was designed for use in Mode 0 but can be used in any mode if the following Pokes are implemented after every change.Poke &9D5B,8 for Mode 1 Also note that this utility cannot be used with programs which utilise the Memory or Symbol After commands.
