Eichin) Organization: Mindless Installers of Terrariums Lines: 16 For anything running the X Window System (versions 10 or 11) there exists a program called `xfish' which floats a bunch (20?) small fish in the background; if you click one mouse button on a fish it starts to head the other direction; if you click the other, it `shoots' the fish. Sort of silly, but it beats the dull gray matte background, and some people find it endlessly fascinating... It was written by John Bradley. I (or maybe he?) could post it here (alt.aquaria) if there really is interest (it is a small program...) Mark Eichin PS. to athena users: If you want to run it, just `attach sipb' and run `/mit/sipb/vaxbin/xfish' (or rtbin if you are on a PC/RT). _Mark_
