|     An X11R4 version can be found in expo.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib.  The
|file is called "xneko.tar.Z" ("neko" is japanese for "cat").  I have no
|relationships with the author(s); I just tried it out.  It's quite cute.

Unless someone swapped the X11 base on me, I was just able to get it to run
under X11R3.  And it's not too hard to install, even for myself, who has no C
programming experience.  I only had to change one line and run make on the
Makefile that came with it.  


As a cat hater (they've filled my flowerbed and covered my lawn with calling
cards) I have to say I like it.  And yes, it is MUCH less demanding.
