Then how about vputs? I thought it wrote to the homescreen...
I need a vputs replacement, since vputs is too slow for my purposes.
(Btw, I use an app, so it'll be a vputmap replacement)
Now I can do that myself, but if anyone has a few valuable tips,
it would be greatly appreciated. (especially on preserving the possiblity to 
invert the text, and keeping it all variable width if neccessary)


If it ain't possible to do it without using "normal" sprite routines and the 
graphbuffer, so be it, but i'm afraid it'd mean more modifications 
to my program...

Thanks for any help
