          ==============================
          WELCOME!
          ==============================

          Welcome to Kaleidoscope!  I originally wrote this program as 
          something of a "poor man's" screen saver, but found it to be
          quite mesmerizing at times.  People started asking me for 
          copies, so I decided to release it as a shareware program.  
          Please, this program is not free.  If you like it, and 
          continue to use it, please register your copy; every dollar 
          helps.  By registering your copy, I get feedback that people 
          like and enjoy my program, and I become more motivated to 
          improve and enhance my software.

          Kaleidoscope can not be loaded as a TSR, so it must be run
          from the DOS command line, a DOS shell, a menu program, etc.
          This is why it is a "poor man's" screen saver.  You can have
          Kaleidoscope automatically go into drawing mode when it is
          run, so if your menu program, or whatever, can run a program
          automatically after some period of time, Kaleidoscope may be
          all of the screen saver you need.

          
          ==============================
          REQUIREMENTS
          ==============================
