CopyBank

CopyBank SrcBank, DestBank

Parameters:

SrcBank = The index of the bank you wish to copy
DestBank = The index of a free bank you wish to copy to

Returns: NONE

CopyBank duplicates the contents of one memory bank to another. While CopyBank expects you to provide it with the index of destination bank, the destination bank can either be created by you, or it will create it for you prior to copying.

FACTS:

* After copying the destination bank will be identical to the source.

Mini Tutorial:

; Create bank #10 with 15 bytes in it
  CreateBank 10,15

; fill and display the source bank
  Print "Showing Contents of Bank 10"
  For lp=0 To GetBankSize(10)-1
     PokeBankByte 10,lp,100+lp
     Print PeekBankByte(10,lp)
  Next

; Make a Copy bank #10 to Bank #20
  CopyBank 10,20


; Display the cloned (copied) bank
  Print "Showing Contents of Bank 20"
  For lp=0 To GetBankSize(20)-1
     Print PeekBankByte(20,lp)
  Next

; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key
  Sync
  WaitKey
