Re: 4ty - 40x25 interlaced text mode on unexpanded VIC 20

OK, so I've got my charset defined with both upper and lower and reverse all setup in the first 512 characters. I've just about decided to make the 40 column support a loadable module and make the character set loadable as well. This would have some advantages. A user with only 8k expansion could use the terminal by using the built in charset. A user happy with 22 columns can choose to use the C64 font with 24K. A user with wanting the 40 column setup can use the 4x8 font. Additionally, I'm working on PUNTER support and plan to make that a module as well. That would free up room for swapping out protocols and keeping the footprint under 24k.
