     I bought my amiga 1000 back in '86.  It came with AmigaDOS 1.1,
AmigaBASIC, AmigaTutor, and PolyScope.  I am not sure if this is the same
thing as the Kaliedoscope program you are talking about.

At any rate, PolyScope has a very impressive graphics display of collages
of triangles, lines, rectangles circles, in all sorts of blending colours.
You could watch it for a long time.

However, when I got a 1 meg Insider board, it failed to work properly.
It would always mess up when it drew circles, turning them into messy boxes.
I tried using FixHunk2, NoFastMem and even ran under KickStart 1.1 with no
luck!

I would like to know if this program has been fixed or if It can be purchased.

P.S.  Also on the PolyScope disk (ElectronicArts) was a SlideShow off their
current games and offerings.
