DESCRIPTION
       The squiral program displays interacting, spiral-producing
       automata


OPTIONS
       squiral accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on  a  newly-created  window.   This  is  the
               default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -mono   If   on  a  color  display,  pretend  we're  on  a
               monochrome display.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -visual visual
               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the
               name  of a visual class, or the id number (decimal
               or hex) of a specific visual.

       -fill percent
               Specify the percent (0-100) of  the  screen  which
               must  be  filled  before  the  screen  is cleared.
               60-80 percent are good values.

       -count number
               The number of squiralies.  By default, the  screen
               width divided by 32.

       -delay usec
               The wait between steps.  The default is 1000.

       -disorder fraction
               The  fraction of the time a squiraly will choose a
               new direction.  The default is 0.005.

       -handedness fraction
               The fraction of the time a squiraly will choose to
               enter  lefthanded  mode.   0.0  means  exclusively
               right-handed behavior, 0.5 (the default) is a bal-
               ance between the two, and 1.0 is exclusively left-
               handed behaviour.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides
               the  global  resources stored in the RESOURCE_MAN-
               AGER property.
