DESCRIPTION

   From Terry Walsh  (http://reallyslick.com):  "This  is  a  real  number
   cruncher  of  a  screensaver.  Computers are getting much more powerful
   these days, and my old savers don't bring them to their knees like they
   used  to. This one does. Of course, you can still turn the settings way
   down if you have a pathetic, old computer."

   Ported to Linux by Tugrul Galatali.
