This is a 386 byte machine code routine which allows you to print text in a wide variety of ways in modes 0-6. The facilities available are: enlargement by 2. 4 or 8 times in both width and height; the ability to invert, rotate and reflect characters. and then print a string in any direction (e .. g. right to left instead of the normal left to right). The routine is used via a CALL statement with parameters, and the text to be printed is stored in a string variable of your choice.

This is an extremely useful and versatile utility, well worth its low price.
