I couldn't stand it. All those little faces pressed up against the window
saying "Please can we have Also Sprach Zarathustra, Daddy ?"

Never one to leave well alone, I've added Animation, too.

The Source (1.9 Mb) is available at :

and the compiled program (also 1.9 Mb) is at :

I have (I hope) fixed the problems that a few of you with older Operating
systems reported. But as I don't run anything less than a G3 with 8.6, I
haven't been able to test it.

I have included the minor patches Bill did, and all the Resources are now
purgeable.

I have found that although the sound is locked to real time, I get
differences in the choreography between different machines. I have marked
where you may need to change it for your computer.

The animation is all one pixel movement per update (1/10th Second). However,
this is noticeable at 800 x 600. Thus the higher your screen resolution, the
better.

Upload it, change it, or delete it as you see fit. If anyone has an older
system running less than 8.5, perhaps they could test it.

If you improve it, send me a copy. If you like it, send an eMail. If you
don't like it, do better.

Ciao,

Phil.

PS. And if anyone wants to add a tumbling black obelisk (with FB3 engraved
on it ?) to the opening sequence, away you go !!
