Hello netlanders.

Some time ago a p.d. fireworks program (explo203.zoo) was submitted
to the net. 

I have been trying to compile this great fireworks program  without
success. 

I am able to compile the programs without errors, but when I try
to run the resulting .exe file it leads to catastroffic (spelling !!!??)
results. 
If I run it on a computer with a monochrom screen, the screen gets
filled with dots and then the computer simple freezes. 
When I tried to run it on computer with a VGA screen, no fireworks where 
displayd, but the screen got filled with dots of some color, then it halted 
for a brief period of time  and the the screen was filled again with dots 
of some other color and so on.

Since the orginal .zoo file has got a .exe file that runs without
any problems I would like to know what I am doing wrong.

If anyone has tried to compile those programs with good results
then please email me and tell me what I need to do to get my
.exe file rigth ?.

I am using Masm v4.0 and TurboC v1.5 or Turbo C++.

I did try to write the author at dlo@ubc-idacom.cs.ubc.cathis but my 
letter did not get through. Does anyone know the author and/or
his address ?


Thanks in advance
Greeting from Iceland.
