Hey everybody, I was playing around in ports and came across xroach. Cool program :) The only problem is that it runs too fast; you can't see the roaches because they scurry under your windows too quickly. Is there a general-purpose approach to this kind of problem in the FBSD world? I can see myself writing a C program called `slow` that would take argv[1] as the factor ( > 1) by which argv[2] should be slowed down by. Anybody else ever come up against this? Thanks and happy Friday! Mike
