HI-TEXT (c) 1986 MICROVISION SOFTWARE Disk version contains three files Hitext.bin hi-text.bas DRIVPOKE.BAS

None booting, just run hi-text.bas from BASIC (DRAGON DOS) loads in a PMODE4 SCREEN1,0 64 by 24 char display.

Text display supports upper and lower case. using a 3x7 matrix to create the characters.

Works with both 32 and 64 models (32 mode only) Tested with DragonDOS v1 and v4 on a real Dragon.

Text generation is at a good speed, lots of RAM left to use for your own programs (only uses 2.6k).

I use it for adventure writing and disk/file manipulation.

Have no instructions, but does not appear to have many special commands added to the software ( such as windowing,  ?@ does not work but is replaced with print x,y)

There are four special chars codes and the user can change chars.
