|  Re: Help wanted optimizing text adventure code
I thank you for your advice, but the problem with your technique is that I'm also using uppercase and control characters. I could use my own rendition of ZX0, a compression technique about which somebody on an Atari forum told me. It does a little better than the original.  Right now, it is not worth it, as I am only using a little RAM, but, as I'm using a system's extra memory in an upcoming version of this code, I can compress the text files and decompress them upon loading. It would cost more RAM but can save space on a disk image for large text adventures.
