I'm currently working on a very huge tool library for programming Fargo.

It will contain 2 and 4 grayscale routines, e.g. putimage, getimage
(also for
sprites), rect, rectfill, line, circle; window, dialog and input/output
routines;
fixed point arithmetic and timing/synchronization routines; basic file
access
routines, that will make it possible, to write an extra library version
that is
exium compatible. The graphic routines will also support
screen-allocating,
and working with many different screens at once. The text routines
within
this library will also be able, to draw really black on a grayscale
screen.
They are also a little faster, 'cause they access the ROM font table
direct
(and a little bit more effective than the ROM does). Almost all
functions of
this library are called through a line 1111 emulator, that is installed
by an
initialization routine. Therby these library calls only take 2 bytes
(instead of
6 bytes jsr <...> + 2bytes relocalization info)

Does anyone have any suggestions/wishes about some routines?
