 |  Re: Defining a custom charset from BASIC
Great topic! I just recently suffered the original posted slowlyness of the charcset copy in BASIC with PEEKs and POKEs, which -in fact- seen in other sample programs also, published inn different books too. I cound not find an other way, and I am far from that level to able to call assembly routines from BASIC (that famous USR command). Do not ask why I wanted to use BASIC, maybe because it looks similar to Pascal 
OFF: BTW, still one thing is unclear for me: why after Austrospeed compilation these BASIC PEEKs did not work? Maybe Austrospeed just cancelling the ROM/RAM banking, and that's why it become faster? As on one hand I need a faster copy, on the other hand I also need faster FOR routines But maybe I should really write something is assembly or try that very much undocumented C..
