I runned it on the VICE-VIC20, but I only see @-characters en syntax errors.

You might be running it on an unexpanded machine. Try adding all the expansions in VICE and drag it over again...

It works! Thank you very much. This is great! And... I'm learning 6502-assembler, so I can study the listing.

Hello Soloman,

nice to hear. The routine is not yet as optimized as expected. So far I copy all 16 characters to the last line and then copy the first bytes of each character. As a next step, the routine should only copy one byte of a character into the last memory cell of the bitmap per run. But I haven't gotten to that yet. Maybe you can take over?

Haha mr. Sterling, I wish I could. But I'm still a rookie. I look around here in this forum to learn.
