	Such a program was done a couple of years ago
	for the Amiga by Chuck McManis. The source was
	sold as a demo of the use of as many Amiga
	functions as could be put in a program, mostly
	for programmer education. Nevertheless, the
	program was quite interesting as well as being
	visually attractive...
