# Simulate "electrons" migrating across the screen.
# An optional bitmap file in can be in the background.
#
# Usage: electrons [n [bitmapfile]]
#
# n is the number of electrons to animate; default is 30.
#
# The bitmap file can be any X11 bitmap file (look in
# /usr/include/X11/bitmaps for samples); it is displayed as the
# background of the animation.  Default is no bitmap.
