It's available at gdead.berkeley.edu in /pub/gdead/ibm/eyelidmv.zip (Thanks to Chris Kirby for suggesting that I call it "Eyelid Movies" instead of "Crazy String") The After Dark version has been renamed, it is now called ILIDMVAD.ZIP in the same place. In case you missed it last week, this is a psychedelic screen saver that I figure fellow Deadheads would appreciate. I intend to distribute it widely, but wanted to show it to yinz first, since this is the only newsgroup I read on a regular basis. You NEED to have a PC-compatible running MS-Windows with *256* colors. To run it, unzip everything and place the contents into your windows directory.Then with the control panel, change the screen saver in the desktop screen to "Eyelid Movies" ODC: funny t-shirt seen at Eugene: FRONT: Beavis: "huh huh.. Dark Star Rules huh huh..." Butthead: "huh yeah, Dark Star Kicks Butt, huh huh.." BACK: they are waving their fists in the air a-la metalheads and in big letters: "DA DA DA DA" "DA DA DA DA" Again, I'll mail anyone this stuff if they can't get it via FTP. The non-AD version is quite long, though (171421 bytes) Say whether you need the AD or non-AD version. Enjoy!

What exactly are they? Thanks Mark! OK: imagine this: There are two lines, with reflections in each quadrant for a total of 8 lines. At first, it is pretty much a standard "moire" or "string" program, with each of the endpoints having an acceleration & velocity. The acceleration is always the opposite of the velocity, so the lines curve around. The cool psychedelic twist is the colors. I constantly rotate the palette so that the colors move: imagine ribbons flowing through space... And then the kicker: the palettes are constantly blending from one color scheme to the next, linearly interpolating between the two. If you can find a PC with windows, check it out! The one with "AD" in the title is for After Dark, made by Berkeley Systems, and the other one is a generic Windows screen saver. Thanks again! Ben . 0
