a demo by lairfight at hype 2k indeed To run the demo, you must first compile it. It should work under any linux distribution as long as you haven't deleted libncurses for some fishy reason. Just cd to the directory containing the files "make" and "demo.c", and type "./make". Then run the demo by typing "./exe". Whether or not to include the quotes when typing, is left as an exercise for the reader. lft
