Is there a way to display type $C0 SHR pics (the kind the Dpaint II produces) from Applesoft Basic?? I can display $C1 uncompressed pics, but not type $C1 pics. _____ UUCP: crash!pro-lep!j_p ARPA: crash!pro-lep!j_p@nosc.mil Dont' have a cow man!! INET: j_p@pro-lep.cts.com

I can display $C! uncompressed pics, but >not type $C1 pics. (I think in that last line, you mean "$C0"?) Anyway, you'd have to get the docs on how those $C0 (compressed) pics are compressed and write a routine to uncompress them after you've loaded them into memory, then move the uncompressed data to the $E12000 bank of memory. I think there's a tool (PackBytes?) that will pack and unpack chunks of bytes and if I remember correctly, those $C0 pics are packed with this tool.
