My reluctance to pad the memory to word or longword address comes in part from the fact that I'm not sure if all printers are like my MX-80 with GrafTrax, and willing to ignore binary zeros in character mode, and in part because I'm not sure by the time I get all the testing for padding need done I will still have saved that much time. Well, there are a number of complications… I guess I need one of those M68000 manuals with the timing diagrams. I used to see them all the time and thought I'd buy one someday. Now it's someday, and I never see them anymore. As for BCLR vs ANDI, I guess even following your guidelines I can go either way! Bit 7 is sort of a flag that means bits 0-6 are the ASCII they look like, but with a special use. But every character in a text could be so marked. So I'll flip a coin and find out what my own personal style is. 🙂 Bart – via Whap!
