Hi Geoff, I'm not at home today so can't mail to the list from this email
address, so here's the info and I'll ask you politely - I am on Quanta
committee now ;o) - if you would mind forwarding it to the list. Despite
your picture of me in Toady, you will note I have never asked the Supreme
Toady (as Per Witte used to refer to QL Today editor in my time) to kneel
before me... ;-))
It's on disk UG02 and it's called splitmode by someone called C.Stretch. It
allows switching between mode 4 and 8 part way down the screen. It includes
a short piece of assembler source showing how it was done, basically,
relying on switching a hardware register at the right time using interrupts,
so it would not work on emulators for example, and may well be speed
dependent, so might need tweaking for Gold Card etc.

I remember, that Steve Sutton also implemented a way of mixing Mode 4 &
>Mode 8 in his adventure creation program from DP (have forgotten the
name....). Must have been in the late 80s.
I have a vague memory that there is a demonstration program in the Quanta
library that does something similar, but I have just done a quick look
through the library guide and cannot find it.
Does this jog anyone's memory?
Best wishes,
Geoff
