- This is a module for Sam Streeper's BACKSPACE program. It was compiled
- on a NeXTStation Color, NS2.2. This is a 'beta-release' at best, because
- of a persistent problem with (I think) the DPS server or the Userpath.
- Basically, the problem (as it manifests itself on my system) occurs only
- in the 'screen-saver' mode. After drawing the first userpath, the module
- hangs, and for some reason sets the autodim time to zero. One has to quit
- Backspace (with cmd-q), invoke Preferences and reset the auto dimming time
- to restore normal behavior. This doesn't always happen however! I have no
- idea what causes it.
- I've been sitting on this bug for three months now, and I just can't
- figure out what the HECK is wrong. If any kind DPS expert would tell me
- what I'm doing wrong, I'd be grateful.
-
- To the best of my knowledge, this code has no other problems. I think this
- type of 'spirograph' stuff is pretty cool, so if anyone can point me to other
- source code, or if you have suggestions or bug-fixes, please mail to:
