I hadn't even thought about that one in years!  I just dug out the disk
(it's on the 1.1 Extras disk, BTW) and gave it a shot.  Works just fine
under 1.3, and looks a good deal nicer on my A2320-enhanced display than
it did on the `stock' display to boot.  I always liked the multi-colored
concentric circle fade in/out, and the little gray mouse that waved at
you when you quit.  Not too fancy by today's standards, I guess, but
pretty slick for what, late '85 - early '86?

Thanks for reminding me, Greg.
