Chuckle...  This thing is approaching voting age by now.  I remember 
it was available for the amiga back in the late 80's-90's time frame.  
That one was written in arexx IIRC. And ISTR that we had one written 
in Basic09 for the tRS-80 Color Computer running os9 in the mid 80's.
I think its like the locusts, with a somewhat faster lifecycle. :-)
