Okay, I don't doubt you did. I explained WHY and HOW to use them.
I also showed the major benefits and created some routines to use
bits.
Click below to Download the routines and example usage.
http://www.cdc.net/~lhilley/FilesEu/llh_font.ex
THE PROGRAM:
At anytime you can press ESC to exit early.
100Meg of free data space recommended if you plan to let
this program run to completion.
The program fakes 65,536 different 32x32 fonts and produces
two seperate raw fake font files.
Expanded.f - normal style of font storage 1's & 0's stored
as bytes, Wasteful.
Compact.f - My compacting routines simply convert those
1's & 0's to the bits they should be.
If you let the program complete then
Expanded.f will be 64Megs
Compact.f will be 8Megs
No real compression techniques are being used.
Just converting Bytes to Bits and Back again.
