- Correct. It was NOT part of the standard distribution set, although his
- dealer may have "bundled" it with his system.

- It was exactly what the name implies - a Kaleidoscope program. It drew
- funny-looking symmetrical patterns on the screen. It was one of the
- first demos of some of the graphics possibilities of the Amiga, though
- quite rough, and only lo-res.

-
- It still works with 3.1, if you boot from the Mindwalker disk... main
- reason is because the sprites are badly mis-placed if you have ANY
- overscan set, or have moved your screen at all from the system default
- position. If you boot from the Mindwalker disk, it doesn't use your
- preferences, so everything is OK.
