ALTERNATIVE CLS

by Wayne Hunt



For those times when a CLS just isn't enough This chunk of code gives

you fourteen alternatives to everyone's favourite command. The

different routines, their addresses and lengths, are outlined at the

top of the very next column.



* Bar FX - 60000, 49

* Attributes - 60049, 51

* Mirror FX - 60100, 34

* Xer Scroll - 60134, 36

[This is wrong. There's a redundant routine at that address.]

[The correct address is 60149, size 21.                 JimG]

* Fader - 60170, 38

* Shutter FX - 60208, 22

* Pixels Up - 60230, 43

* Pixels Down - 60273, 53

* Pixels Right - 60326, 18

* Pixels Left - 60344, 18



If I were you, I'd type them all in first using the Decimal Loader

provided, then you can try them out and save the ones you like

separately. It's relocatable, so you stick them where you like (within

reason), and to get each routine going, just type RAND USR start

address, except for the character scroll, which needs RAND USR 60148

to start [(60148) is just a NOP; the routine starts at 60149. JimG].

Incidentally, you may have noticed, there are fourteen methods but

only ten routines; this is because you can use the horizontal and

vertical pixel scrollers together to make, erm, diagonal ones. Oh, and

xer stands for character. (Little throwback to Computer Science

lessons there. Schooldays, eh?)
