But removing textcolor() or doing nothing in it leaves the Atari port with no way to set the text bightness. I could add a textluminance() or similar function which does it, but then all other ports would need a new (empty?) textluminance() function. Can't we just document the different behaviour of textcolor() for the Atari and leave it in so Atari users can set the brightness of the text? It appears to me to be less hassle this way. regards, chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
