Line-A
LINEA
BITBLT
In addition, by using negative offsets to the start address of the Line-A variables one can read out the local variables of the screen driver. The read access has been released officially by Atari with the document "S.A.L.A.D."; however, the offsets are specified wrongly in that. These variables can be described by the following structure. The number in the comment section gives the offset of the component to the start of the Line-A variables LINEA in each case.
