   back then I wrote many inline ASM in BASIC for C64.   
   including my very own character-set to show my logo with a triple char.   
      
   during DOS days I used FONTEDIT.COM to adapt my stuff.   
      
   I use this 128 characters font layout still today,   
   but added up to 256 chars and flexibility for various   
   sizes, while the main grid is 16*8(*9 as hidden space).
