Dimensions is FREE!!!
Dimensions should work on your color Macintosh, if it doesn't,
please let me know so I can fix the problem.
=============================================================
Dimensions is a take-off on a Sunset™ screensaver module written
by Michael Pye. I was inpressed by the algorithm and decided to
hack out a little application version of the same. Hence, here
is Dimensions - The Application!
Dimensions is pretty easy to use and is more an exercise for
myself than a major contender in the MacUser top 100 shareware
products of 1990.
Here is a brief overview of the menu items to get you started:

=============================================================
Technical Information:
Dimensions 1.0 was programmed in THINK C 4.0.4. It is
semi-complete as far as what I have planned for the *final*
version. Basically, it works on my IIcx and also has been
tested on a IIfx and a IIci.
What is left to be added is the following:
* add CopyBits to the drawing to avoid the flash (yech!)
* add color tables so the colors are closer to what the
user chooses. Sometimes the colors are messed up a tad.
* maybe add a few more preferences.
Source code may be available once I get these features
implemented but right now I'm tired so I'll look at it
some other time -;)
