DESCRIPTION
       The pyro program simulates fireworks, in a way similar to a Macintosh program of the same name.


OPTIONS
       pyro 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.

       -count integer
               How many particles should be allowed on the screen at once.  Default 600.

       -frequency integer
               How often new missiles should launch.  Default 30.

       -scatter integer
               How  many  particles should appear when a missile explodes.  Default 100.  The actual number used
               is between N and N+(N/2).

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.


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
