Repeating char-lines
By HCL/Booze Design
Here is a small program that doubles one char-line. If you run it from the basic screen you should see the “64k ram system…” text-line being doubled. The trick can of course be used several times, and by changing char-bank or video-bank at each repetition, large areas of graphics can be moved by just storing one char-line.
