Some further obscure observations on screen dumps… Looking over SCDUMP.100 in DL0, I see that a technique similar to the one you describe is used for a moderately fast screen dump to the EPSON printer: Each byte of graphics data is broken into two 4-bit nibbles and table of size 16 stored in a data statement is used to store each nibble's upside down image in a one-byte variable, setting a pair bits for each original bit. No concatenation is required since the image is printed double size so that the two nibbles are on different LPRINT'ed lines. Regards… <<mike safonov>>
