;                   ** Compressed Strings edition **
;                   This is a plug replacement for DisplayFormat.asm,
;                   working instead with precompiled and slightly compressed strings.

;=============================================================================================
;
; Strings are compressed in a simple manner:
;   1. The two most common characters, space and null, are removed
;   2. Format specifiers are reduced to a single byte, including length information
;
; Format of bytes in the string are:
;     01 xxxxxx     Character in x plus StringsCompressed_NormalBase
;     10 xxxxxx     Character in x plus StringsCompressed_NormalBase, followed by a null (last character)
;     11 xxxxxx     Character in x plus StringsCompressed_NormalBase, followed by a space
;     00 1 yyyyy    Character/Format in lookup table StringsCopmressed_TranslatesAndFormats
;     00 0 yyyyy    Character/Format in lookup table StringsCompressed_TranslatesAndFormats, followed by a null
;
; StringsCompressed_NormalBase is defined by the compressor, but is usually around 0x40,
; which gives a range of 0x40 to 0x7f, or roughly the upper and lower case letters.
;
; StringsCompressed_TranslatesAndFormats is a lookup table with the first few bytes being translation
; characters, and the last few bytes being format jump offsets from DisplayFormatCompressed_BaseFormatOffset.
; The dividing line is defined by StringsCompressed_FormatsBegin
;
; The assignments of the first two bits above is not by accident.  The translates/format branch is 00
; which is easy to test for.  The '01' for "normal" (no null or space) and '001' for translates/format "normal"
; match, allowing the translates/format codes to be shifted left by 1 and then tested with the same instructions.
;
; It is always possible to say that a null character follows the current character - thus there is
; no way (nor need) to specify a zero character.
;
; Note that this code is optimized for size, not speed.  Since this code is used only during initialization
; and only for the user interface, small performance hits should not be noticed.  It will seem odd to do so
; much "preload", just in case a branch is taken, but that is cheaper (in size) than adding additional branches.

; Format Handlers
;
; Names of format handlers are DisplayFormatCompressed_Format_* where * is
; replaced with the format code after the '%' in the original string,
; with '-' replaced with '_'.
;
;   Parameters:
;       DS:     BDA segment (zero)
;       AX:     Parameter to Format
;       ES:DI:  Ptr to cursor location in video RAM
;   Returns:
;       DI:     Updated offset to video RAM
;   Corrupts registers:
;       AX, BX, CX, DX, SI

; The following routines do not need any pre or post processing and can be jumped to directly.
