     A Mr. Satoshi Asami sent me email about "oneko", a much improved
"xneko".  Unlike "xneko", the cat in "oneko" runs *OVER* windows.  It's
terminally cute (orders of magnitude cuter than xneko ;-).  I've
enclosed a copy of his message, describing where to obtain it, as he
requested that I post a copy here.

     As the anonymous ftp site is in Japan, it would be nice if someone
could grab the sources and make them available on this side of the
Pacific (I've grabbed a copy, but I only have outgoing anonymous ftp
permission -- I can get sources, but I can't make anything available for
anonymous ftp).

   There is an enhanced version of the kitten program called "oneko".
Instead of running and scratching the cage in which it is caught as in
"xneko", it runs _over_ windows until it manages to catch the mouse.

   You can find it in utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp [133.11.11.11] under the
directory fj/fj.sources.  The id's of the posted articles are
v20/2020--2024.
