   There is a bug in the version posted that will cause the Personal Iris to
 crash. It has to do with one routine not finishing drawing and another routine
 suddenly sending tokens to the gfx pipline before the other is done. 
   I am gogin to post a new version within the next few days that should fix
 this problem and includes some enhancements (shooting stars, a moon and
 'venus'.)
