- The demo program SCROLL.EXE simply scrolls a dumb-looking world 523
- pixels north-east, 560 pixels north-west and so on for the other six
- directions. As a crude test of how much time is left for other things
- it also bounces a number of small balls around the screen.
-
- The program takes one command line argument, i.e. "scroll n", where n
- is the number of balls (default is eight). On my system, a 386/40 with
- an ancient 8-bit video card I can do nine balls before it starts to
- miss a beat at tile boundaries. If you have a more modern system you
- should be able to do considerably better.

- When you're tired of looking at it, hit ESC. That's it.
