[comp.sys.amiga] Boing

First, let me say that I am somewhat of a late-comer to the world of Amiga
owners (my A500 is not yet a year old).  I have seen and heard of many
animations derived from one called 'boing'.  However, upon looking through
the Fish collection, I don't see it.  Also, I have never seen it on a bbs.
Is this freely distributable?  If so, is there an ftp site?

I'm pretty sure I know what it is (a red & white ball bouncing around the
screen, right?), but I would like to see it for myself, and also have it
for historical reasons.

Thanx in advance,
Dave Schaumann
