MEGATEXT 2

by Wayne Ambrose



Aeons ago, in a dusty edition of Pitstop, there was a program called

MegaText by Simon Hobbs. It allowed you to print in all manner of

weird 'n' wonderful styles such as bold, curved, italic, skewered and

so on. Now, here's Wayne Ambrose with an adaptation of that program to

make it even more user-friendly and powerful (blimey!).



Method

Using the hex loader (from Windas) type in the machine code and then

save it with SAVE "name" CODE. Then enter the Basic program and save

that with SAVE "name" LINE 10.



Controls

There are two modes available - normal and large. Normal mode shows

you all the keys and is for experimenting with styles. Large mode uses

the same keys and is used for trying different sizes.



Using O and P will decrease and increase the style number (0-255).

Press M and you'll be able to type in the style number. Q and A effect

the height, stretching it taller or snapping it smaller.



And in this way you can mix styles and heights to find the most

effective combinations, y'know.
