- I've submitted several files to sonata in /pub/next/submissions, and
- will get around to submitting them to cs.orst soon.

- FlyView.BackModule.tar.Z // precompiled ready-to-go module
- Fly_Module.README // short readme file
- Fly_source.tar.Z // the source
-
- "Fly" is a 3.0 BackSpace module that shows how to use NXBundles and to
- create your own inspector for BackSpace. It's pretty simple and there
- is online help. You can have between 1 and 20 flies that can just
- swarm around on the screen or you can try to splat them with the mouse
- if you wish >:). It comes with controls to modify the fly's speed and
- the frame rate of the animation so that you can tailor BackSpace's CPU
- usage to your personal liking. Fly will work on any bitdepth screen
- and will choose the best (color) image possible.
-
- It comes complete with source and is freeware (of course). You'll
- need to place the module in one of the preordained locations. Read
- the docs for BackSpace for further details.
-
- Many, many thanks to Sam Streeper for providing BackSpace, and all the
- support and suggestions that he gave me during Fly's (three days) of
- development. Also I'd like to thank Dan Decasper for providing the
- "splat" sound. It was taken from his "SNAP" collection on the
- archive.
-
- Have fun,
- Todd
