This is a rewritten version of the classic SNOW.COM, which was written
ages ago because one Christmas Eve (1988) I was somewhere that it was not
snowing and should have been.
This one requires EGA or VGA, preferably VGA, and is much better at looking
like a real snowstorm. Let it run for a couple of hours. All night. Longer.
If you really like this, send me a dollar. No checks, no money orders, just
stuff an old worn-out dollar in an envelope, put this on it:
Scott Wenzel
Weirdest Programmer On The Planet
Galapagos Development
29 South Charles Street
Red Lion, Pennsylvania 17356
and I will be deeply humbled and appreciative. Of course, this isn't required.
Just use the program, give it to everyone you know, and I'll still be happy.
Snow takes only one parameter, the number of snowflakes onscreen at any one
time. On a faster machine, use maybe 40 or 45. If you have a 486/50 you can
probably have 80 or 100. On an XT (which likely won't have VGA!) probably
six or seven is enough.
Bye!
