DESCRIPTION
     The squiral program displays interacting, spiral-producing automata

OPTIONS
     squiral accepts the following options:

     --window
	     Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

     --root  Draw on the root window.

     --window-id number
	     Draw on the specified window.

     --mono  If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

     --install
	     Install a private colormap for the window.

     --visual visual
	     Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a visual
	     class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

     --fill percent
	     Specify the percent (0-100) of the screen which must be filled  be-
	     fore the screen is cleared.  60-80 percent are good values.

     --count number
	     The  number of squiralies.  By default, the screen width divided by
	     32.

     --scale number
	     Line thickness.

     --delay usec
	     The wait between steps.  The default is 1000.

     --disorder fraction
	     The fraction of the time a squiraly will choose  a  new  direction.
	     The default is 0.005.

     --handedness fraction
	     The fraction of the time a squiraly will choose to enter lefthanded
	     mode.   0.0  means  exclusively right-handed behavior, 0.5 (the de-
	     fault) is a balance between the two, and 1.0 is  exclusively  left-
	     handed behaviour.

     --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY
	     to get the default host and display number.

     XENVIRONMENT
	     to  get  the  name of a resource file that overrides the global re-
	     sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

     XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	     The window ID to use with --root.

BUGS
     None known
