  14.         Any ideas to make this program, PLANET, better are welcome. Don't just
  15. say that the planets are too simple; someone give me the code to generate a
  16. Plasma fractal and map it onto a sphere, or maybe just code (in C) to
  17. generate a shaded sphere.

  21.         I can get this game to work fine under DESQview by creating its own
  22. setup. Be sure to say "No" to direct screen writing, virtualization and
  23. background processing. I give it 115k, but you may get away with less.
  24.  
  25.         Someone let me know how it works under Windows.
