When accessing screen memory often a multiplication of the vertical position is needed to calculate
|
||||
the target address. A quite common horizontal span for 8-bit systems is 20 or 40 bytes (beside e.g. 32 bytes, where the multiplication can be accomplished by shifting 5 times).

<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
unsigned int __fastcall__ mul20(unsigned char value);
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
The 8 bit <tt>value</tt> is multiplied by 20 and returned as 16 bit value.
