NAME
     pulsar - intersecting planes, alpha blending, fog, and textures.

SYNOPSIS
     pulsar   [--display   host:display.screen]   [--visual  visual]  [--window]
     [--root]  [--window-id  number]  [--no-light]  [--wire]  [--delay	 number]
     [--quads  number]	[--image  file] [--light] [--fog] [--texture] [--mipmap]
     [--no-blend] [--antialias] [--texture_quality] [--do_depth] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
     Draws some intersecting planes, making use of  alpha  blending,  fog,  tex-
