I N S T R U C T I O N S You have probably come across many different character sets for your Spectrum but they all take a little bit of effort to include in your own programs and the extra time taken to load the code whether from a cassette or a microdrive tends to put one off bothering. What is needed is a nice, standard, clear font for general use but 'built in' to the BASIC and so without the hassle. A font you can easily include in all your programs almost without even thinking about it. AUTOCHARS is an alternate set of characters that is clearer than the normal Sinclair font. However, it has the additional quality of being generated by a small machine code routine in a REM statement in BASIC at 9500 so it can easily be merged into your own programs and called into service with a GO SUB. Note that AUTOCHARS is not a designed character set but is automatically made by a short routine that uses less memory. To switch back to the Sinclair characters use POKE 23606,0 : POKE 23607,60 before printing your text. You can save a back up of this master copy by pressing 'S' at the AUTOCHARS menu but to use the program you need to save a working copy (see menu) which consists of just one line:9500 which you can then just’ in, once and for all, into the program of your choice. As supplied,AUTOCHARS will put the character set at 64000 but you can easily choose where to put the code by altering the number just after the FIRST STOP statement in 9500. Ignore the warning buzz or use POKE 23608,0 to silence it. No harm will be done (unless you edit along to the code itself)
