It doesn't actually run on *all* Macs, though it did at the time I
worked on it, before the Mac II rollout.  I believe it works on all
Macs in monochrome (1 bit per pixel) mode, though it does weird stuff
to your screen under Multifinder. 

On the bright side, full source code is included, so anybody with a
little time on his hands could fix it up.  The basic problem is that
it writes directly to the screen, a very nasty habit.  I'm currently
dreaming of building it into a screen-saver, a project made feasible
(I hope) by the advent of After Dark.  Hang on while I call
MacConnection...

        One of the flaws in the anarchic bopper society was
        the ease with which such crazed rumors could spread.
