NAME
       flyingtoasters - 3d space-age jet-powered flying toasters (and toast)


SYNOPSIS
       flyingtoasters  [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-speed
       number] [-ntoasters number] [-nslices number] [-no-texture] [-wireframe] [-fps]


DESCRIPTION
       Draws a squadron of shiny 3D space-age jet-powered flying toasters, and associated toast,  flying  across
       your screen.


OPTIONS
       -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.

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).

       -speed number
               How fast the toasters fly.  Larger for faster.  Default: 1.0.

       -ntoasters number
               How many toasters to draw.  Default 20.

       -nslices number
               How many slices of toast to draw.  Default 25.

       -no-texture
               Turn off texture mapping (for slow machines.)

       -wireframe
               Render in wireframe instead of solid.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.


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_MANAGER property.

       The  original  After  Dark  flying  toasters,  with  the fluffy white wings, were a trademark of Berkeley
       Systems.  Berkeley Systems ceased to exist some time in 1998, having been gobbled up  by  Sierra  Online,
       who  were  subsequently  gobbled  up  by Flipside and/or Vivendi (it's hard to tell exactly what happened
       when.)

       I doubt anyone even cares any more, but if they do, hopefully this homage, with  the  space-age  3D  jet-
       plane  toasters, will be considered different enough that whoever still owns the trademark to the fluffy-
       winged 2D bitmapped toasters won't get all huffy at us.
