This program is in debian in the xflip package. (I assume it's the same one, I can't run the sparc binary you attached to make sure ;-) You can look at the source. What I think it does is, it graps a snapshot of the screen, then pops up a window that covers the whole screen, paints it with the snapshot it took, and then modifies it to make it look like the screen is flipping. -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
