Exelent!  I am having a little trouble with my terminal, though.  when it 
is set for 80 x 24, your animation vibrates up and down about 3 lines at a 
time.  But it works fine after enlarging the window to 85 x 25.  If I make 
the window full screen, (98 x 36), I get some garbage below the actual 
animation.  Also, all the particles dissappear after about count 200 
(probably not a terminal problem) I am using WinQVT/Net v3.9, with
Windoze 3.1, and the terminal emulation set to vt100.
