Hello Ullrich, UvB> If cscroll() would be a conio function, it could use whatever is available on UvB> the specific machine, since the implementation is machine specific anyway. In UvB> case of the C64 this means that kernal calls are ok. Other conio functions do UvB> also use kernal calls on the C64. UvB> In general, if you specify "-t c64" on the command line, you get a machine UvB> specific memory layout and a library targeted for this layout. Library UvB> routines can and will use knowledge about this memory layout to make the code UvB> faster and/or smaller. [snip] oh, i really thought it had been the other way around ,=) so what does that mean as a consequence then.... i guess the way it is then is that all ram under kernal and i/o ($d000-$ffff) is currently unused in a c64 setup ? or do library calls that use the kernal bank the memory as needed? (which leads to another question... IF that is the case, it would be more or less easy-peasy to port some simple gfx-functions i got and put them into a small library..... is there any interest for that ? (i dont really need that myself but got the routines laying around anyway)) -- Best regards, groepaz mailto:groepaz_at_gmx.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
