The source is at http://members.optusnet.com.au/~akmilton/bounceydaemon.tgz For those of you who don't trust random kernel modules, it also builds a curses version, so you can try before you buy as it were. It looks better at higher text resolutions (to me anyway). Those of you with X11 terminals that do transparency the curses version looks kinda neat in one of those. Enjoy. P.S. It compiles under -stable, but, I haven't tried it yet (the -stable machine I have is headless and it's a fair distance away from my KVM). -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | M:+61 416 022 411 | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 |akm@theinternet.com.au| Carpe Daemon
