The row of automobilesin the next printed lineiscreated by downloading two new character patterns, which are printed in place of the character”<” (character 60). Details can be found in Appendix C.

The final part of the program uses dot graphics to print an “S&S”logo. The dot pattern of the logo was originally laid out on graph paper, then converted to the data in lines 2640 to 3030 with the help of a calculator. Each number represents eight vertical dots. (See “Graphics commands” in Appendix B for details. See also Figure C-1 in Appendix C.)

The pattern is printed in four rows, each eight dots high and 100 dots wide. Lines 1800to 1850read the dot data into a string array variable named LOGO$. Line 1860sets thelinespa@gto8/72 inch so that the rows will connect vertically. The loop in lines 1870to 1940does the printing in four passes of the print head.

This program can also be run in IBM mode (DIP switch 1-6 OFF) if you change a few of the lines as shown below to allow for differencein some of the commands. You will get a cylinderinstead of a barrel effect, becuase the IBM mode does not have any command to micro-adjust the character spacing.
