Summary: Split Screen - Screen Magic!


	Back when I had a subscription to Softdisk Magazette, they had a
    demo for a program called Screen Magic (I believe) which did just
    what everyone has been talking about.  The demo would write some
    text on the 40-column screen, switch to HI-RES, draw a graph in
    color, and Presto-Chango there was the screen with both text and
    graphics.  

	One screen looked like this:
	+----------------------------------------+
	| SOME TEXT HERE      |  | /--\          |
	|       .             |  |/    \____     |
	|       .             |  |____________   |
	|                     |  ^ Graphic Image |
	|                     -------------------|
	|                                        |
	|                         Text here too. |
	|----------------------------------------|
	|                                        |
	| Some more graphics down here ...       |
	+----------------------------------------+

	The explanation was that the program flipped the text/graphics
    switches back and forth during the drawing of the screen.  It
    looked quite good, though I have only seen that one demo.  The
    initial drawing and page flip was slightly irritating, as it was
    not as smooth as I would like, but it got the job done.  I don't
    know any of the limitations (minimum window width, or length) as
    the 'Advertisment' didn't tell about them.

	Does anyone else know if this program is still around in the
    market?
