Many years ago, when I had a 128k mac, I at some point came across an 
interesting clock program: it was a digital clock that filled the whole 
screen.  The digits were white-on-black, and were a couple of inches 
tall.  The catch is, when the numbers changed (as from 8 to 9) one would
deform into the other; one digit would "melt" sideways until it was 
shaped like the next.  Very smooth, very cute.

So anyway, this came up in conversation the other day, and I'd really
like to get my hands on this thing again so I can figure out how it
did what it did.  Can anyone out there tell me where to find this?
(Please reply by mail as I don't read this newsgroup.)

Thanks,
