- This demo is a virtual goldfish tank in which you can experiment
- in breeding your own goldfish with their own attributes.   The program
- starts off by giving you six assorted fish.   From there, you
- can either let the program run on its own, or you can alter various
- fish characteristics to try and get a tank full of the
- fish you want.<BR>
- <BR>
- When you've selected a fish, the menu of available characteristics
- are shown on the right of the display.   Use the left mouse to change
- the slider values.   Although all fish share some same
- characteristics, there are some that are unique to the male and
- unique to the female fish.<BR>
