	This program saves the screen from burn by displaying a random
vector pattern every few seconds.  The design of the vector pattern and the
color of the design are chosen at Random.  The functions to calculate the
drawing of the vector pattern are static, and were implemented at compile
time.  This allows for a fast redraw each time the screen is refreshed.  The
result is a neat demo, that saves your screen from burn at the same time! It
HIGHLY resembles the X-Stringart routines on a Sun workstation, and in fact
the displays are the same for all intents and purposes[ except that most
Suns are in black and white, as are their String Art routines. :) ]  In the
current implementation, you must spawn a process to run the screen saver.
If there is sufficient interest, I will write it as a desk accesory so that
it saves the screen as soon as the console goes idle.  For now, just enjoy the
designs!
