At Uniforum in Dallas last month, the new Sony laptop had a cute application running. In the window was a cat that would chase the cursor (mouse). Inside the window, the cat would grab the mouse and (I think) sit on it. If you moved the mouse outside the window, the cat would try to grab the mouse, eventually give up, and fall asleep. So where can I get this??? Thanks. --Jerry Peek, jerry@ora.com, uunet!ora!jerry, +1 617 354-5800

The program you want is 'xneko,' which should be available at a server near you. Otherwise, the files should be in an fj.sources archive (I believe ftp.cs.titech.ac.jp maintains such an archive). The issues you want are: 9005/17: xneko -- X11 neko 9010/23: xneko on root window The second article contains a patch which allows one to run the cat on the root window (using 'xneko -back' or 'xneko -front'). ----- John B.
