I would be interested in finding out where to get an update to our
version of Explode, too.   I have version 1.22, and seem to have trouble
with it slowing my clock on my IBM PS/2 model 70 when the fireworks are
going.  I like this screen saver, but having to reset my date and time
regularly is something I would rather not do.
