I've submitted several files to sonata in /pub/next/submissions, and
will get around to submitting them to cs.orst soon.

FlyView.BackModule.tar.Z	// precompiled ready-to-go module
Fly_Module.README		// short readme file
Fly_source.tar.Z		// the source

"Fly" is a 3.0 BackSpace module that shows how to use NXBundles and to
create your own inspector for BackSpace.  It's pretty simple and there
is online help.  You can have between 1 and 20 flies that can just
swarm around on the screen or you can try to splat them with the mouse
if you wish >:).  It comes with controls to modify the fly's speed and
the frame rate of the animation so that you can tailor BackSpace's CPU
usage to your personal liking.  Fly will work on any bitdepth screen
and will choose the best (color) image possible.

It comes complete with source and is freeware (of course).  You'll
need to place the module in one of the preordained locations.  Read
the docs for BackSpace for further details.

Many, many thanks to Sam Streeper for providing BackSpace, and all the
support and suggestions that he gave me during Fly's (three days) of
development.  Also I'd like to thank Dan Decasper for providing the
"splat" sound.  It was taken from his "SNAP" collection on the
archive.

Have fun,
Todd
