The trailing semicolons on
program
lines 20 to 60 keep all the words
on one print line. Note that your computer may require semicolons
between all print strings (if so, you will need to add them to later
programs).
CHR$(14) and CHR$(20) are used to pop in and out of Expanded
Mode.
Compressed Mode is turned on in line 40, but not turned off until
line 80. The Compressed Mode is masked in line 60 when Elite is
turned on. Since the combined Compressed and Expanded print width
is twice as wide as Compressed (17.16 cpi), Expanded Compressed
Mode is 8.58 cpi.
Elite width is turned on in line 60 and off in line 80. Expanded Elite
characters are 6 cpi. That's right. Half as many cpi as Elite Mode alone
(12 cpi).
Doubling the width of the three standard pitches adds more dots to
the matrix of each character, so it results in a darker print. There are
other ways to get darker print, plus many other ways to change the
looks of the type . . . all that is in the next chapter, on print quality.
