A83: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: LDIR timing / saferam1


OK, I've copied the Ion source, it works OK, except the fact that your
fastline routine shifts/draws the lines in a different way. When using
Iline, the lines are drawn different (the bits are shifted in different
ways, it seems). It is difficult to explain, but diagonal lines drawn with
Iline are different from those drawn with your routine...

Yours sincerely,
Frank Schoep
