Deepak – good old days, indeed

AC – Sometimes, we love things for their imperfections!

“After leafing through the GW-BASIC manual for a few days, I found the command that would allow me to not set the pixels of the normal text to black after I’d applied the enlargement. Not bad, for a kid of fourteen in the days of no Internet.”

I remember struggling with the SAME bug when i was around 15 :). I also remember using another method, which was to use a different screen to print the word, and a different screen to display the banner. This was done by an additional parameter to the SCREEN command, i think.

Ah! The good old days.
