Hi Lars,

Works fine on a G4/450, but crashes on my iMac/333, but I think that's because it
doesn't have OpenGL installed.  Makes sense.  I believe I had problems with one of
Derek's OpenGL things there as well.  Seems like he put in some code so that it
crashed more gently.  Of course, with MacsBug turned on, it was gentle enough for
me.

Anyway you can turn that into something I can use on a Website.  MacHerald.com
will venture forth at the end of this month (I hope), and I'm looking for all
sorts of things "Arthurian".  Your Demo has definite Escaliburian
qualities/potential. - Great looking stuff!

TIA,

Joe Wilkins
