Multiborder Campbell Black and Alasdair Hobbs, Junpier Green, Midlothian Enhance your Spectrum screen displays with a multicoloured border. This machine-code routine can be called instead of using a Pause 0. It can be customised by your program to give between two and six coloured borders. A few pokes are required before calling the routine. Poke 65089 with the number of colours required in the border. Poke 65081 with the number corresponding to the first colour, poke 65082 with the number corresponding to the second colour, and so on. Finally, call the routine with RANDOMIZE USR 65000 The border will remain multicoloured until a key is pressed. The addresses are summarised in table 1.
