SEE ALSO Lots of other things not on your computer screen. http://www.pepcross.com/ (has screenshots and possibly updates) BUGS Many, including : 1) At non-square aspect ratios particles move oddly due to a particle sys- tem that's kludged on a 1 by 1 floating point square. 2) There's no non-floating point particle system 3) no support for -geometry 4) There is no fourth bug. 5) -r uses the top left corner of the root window. D'Oh! 6) -r doens't take keystrokes in the root window 7..N) Not sure, but they're probably there.
