Xmartin is an X11 root window decorator based on the Barry Martin hopalong
algorithms (see A. K. Dewdney's column in the 9/86 Scientific American.)
Available on uxc.cso.uiuc.edu in pub/xfroot/xmartin.shar or by email request 
to ejk@ux2.cso.uiuc.edu. 

Xmartin adds these features to those in its xfroot predecessor:

   o new patterns with three variations on the original Martin hopalong
   o option for tiling effects and/or speed
   o option for effects by periodically perturbing (x,y)
   o random color sequences and tailorable resources for colors
   o ranges for hopalong parameters
   o zoom and pan options 
   o option to recall and alter previous hopalong parameters
   o optional Perl xmartin+ tailors probabilities, replays interesting patterns
