This is an add-on for the CoCo Extended Color BASIC that implements 51x24 and 64x24 text screens. All operation of the BASIC interpreter works naturally.

It is developed in 6809 assembly language. It may be assembled with LWTOOLS (http://lwtools.projects.l-w.ca) under Linux, or with Windows cross-assemblers such as Chet Simpson's CASM which is included in RainbowIDE.

In order to build a disk image, you will also need the Toolshed utility suite. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/toolshed) - Earlier versions of CaChars used the imgtool utility that is a part of MESS, the Multi Emulator Super System.
