       Name: CopyLargeBlock                                          [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Utility routines
    Summary: An unused routine that copies a large number of pages in memory
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: No direct references to this subroutine in this source file


 Arguments:

   SC2(1 0)             Source address

   SC(1 0)              Destination address

   V                    The number of pages top copy in each set

   V+1                  The number of sets, so we copy V * V+1 pages

   X                    Number of pages of memory to copy


.CopyLargeBlock

 LDY #0                 ; Set an index counter in Y

 INC V                  ; Increment the page counter in V so we can use a BNE
                        ; below to copy V pages

 INC V+1                ; Increment the page counter in V+1 so we can use a BNE
                        ; below to copy V+1 sets of V pages

.copl1

 LDA (SC2),Y            ; Copy the Y-th byte from SC2(1 0) to SC(1 0)
 STA (SC),Y

 INY                    ; Increment the index counter

 BNE copl2              ; If we haven't reached the end of the page, jump to
                        ; copl2 to skip the following

 INC SC+1               ; Increment the high bytes of SC(1 0) and SC2(1 0) to
 INC SC2+1              ; point to the next page in memory

.copl2

 DEC V                  ; Loop back to repeat the above until we have copied V
 BNE copl1              ; pages

 DEC V+1                ; Loop back to repeat the above until we have copied V+1
 BNE copl1              ; sets of V pages

 RTS                    ; Return from the subroutine
