BACKGROUND:
  The algorithms I used in these screen savers were originally conceived as 
part of an art project I worked on in my senior year at the Evergreen State 
College.   I implemented the algorithms in about 70,000 lines of Borlands'
Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS and included a "User Interface From Hell" that 
provided access to the hundreds of parameters used to customize the image 
generation process.  After I graduated, I attempted to make a living as an 
artist by selling the images I produced to various galleries around the 
country.   I quickly discovered that being an artist requires not only a 
healthy dose of creativity, but also a boatload of marketing savvy (which I
was lacking).  Since I was having a hard time making ends meet, I decided I'd
have to find another way to make a living (besides, another month of macaroni
and cheese would probably have killed me).  After kicking around the idea of
putting together a company to do the video/effects for raves, I decided that 
I'd be better off getting a programming position with a company that wouldn't
require me to wear a suit.  In order to prove I'd done some programming, I 
ported some of my Pascal code for MS-DOS into C for MS Windows and sent it 
out with my resume.   The result was the beginning of the collection of the 
screen savers included here.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

Suggested:
  386 (preferably with math coprossessor) or better <g>
  *256 color display card

*Although these screen savers should run in any video mode, I recommend 
that you run in a 256 color mode due to the fact that these screen savers use 
palette animation to produce many of their more striking effects.
