It's really easy to unmask these into individual pixels. >BASIC would be intolerably slow at this sort of bit-mangling. I think BASIC will need some help from ML. I'll get this working in C first and decompose it back down to BASIC with as few ML subroutines as possible. The idea is to document DHGR graphics printing in step form with working examples. There isn't much incentive for anyone to use DHGR bitmapped graphics without providing some kind of target program. So far SlideShows, Movies, and Sprites for games and demos are on my radar (Jonas did a prototype movie recently) and I've done the other two prototypes... but printing applications expand the potential for a retro experience a great deal. Thanks for your thoughts. You can jump-in and write part of this anytime you want. I may need some help with the ML routines for the BASIC examples when I get to them. The C code I can easily manage after I get the printer output routines fleshed-out. Bill
