Type-in from the October 1988 issue of Amstrad Action.
From AA:
'Magic sets up an RSX command that can be used to replace any particular data byte in screen memory with a different byte. This can be used to create some novel effects on graphic screens.
It has been written (like the real time clock) by Simon Payne who lives in Blackpool.
Program Notes
This program is a little out of the ordinary, because it was written after the author had seen an Archimedes Art program which had a similar feature.
Lines 10-90 read in the data stored in lines 100-130. and poke this data into memory. Line 140 then runs through this code, which makes ready the new command."
