distella that are mentioned in the article?  I did a search but came up 
with dead links.  Can someone maybe email them to me?

http://www.gooddealgames.com/articles/changing_atari_vcs_graphics_the_ea  
sy_way.pdf
is a guide to doing just that...you can get a pretty decent version of that 
pdf document by going to Google and searching for
"Changing Atari VCS Graphics- The Easy Way"
Once you understand what they're talking about, a tool like the one I made
at

might come in helpful
