I don't think we ever pinned down which was the best code, actually (fastest, most efficient, etc).

Library description says that is quite slow. Nevertheless, I'll give it a try.

Cheers

Yes - it would be faster if it used lookup tables. I was thinking of looking at a version that has a screen lookup table, as well as rotate tables. But it would be quite a lot larger - always a trade between speed and memory!

[Edit]
I've now sped up a call to mine by 20% using screen address and rotate tables, if anyone cares! <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.boriel.com/how-to-tutorials/topic493.html">how-to-tutorials/topic493.html</a><!-- l -->

You can change the parameters of the routine for take two bytes instead a word. You must use Britlion´s hrprint routine because it´s faster than this. Thx.
