There has been a trend for user-defined graphics programs to appear in magazines soon after the launch
of new micros with the udg facility. This is true for the Oric 1 (see HCW no. 3), and, to persuade Oric
owners to actually part with their cash, a udg program needs to have something special. This one
doesn't, quite.
It lets you modify or re-design any character in the standard or an alternative character set.
Having specified which character you wish to alter, you move a cursor around an enlarged character
square display setting or re-setting pixels until you have the character you want. The character you
are creating is also shown in normal size.
Alongside the enlarged character square are the byte addresses and values of the new character. You
have to jot these down when complete - there are no options to save on cassette or obtain a printer
listing (the 'extras' that this program lacks).
