You're forgetting something.  The bubbles won't appear without
water, and since most people haven't installed the bucket-hole
patch so they'll be in the dark.  Also, since my code is text
based (non-gui) the about menu is nowhere to be found.  Is there
a new GUI release of the kitchen sink?  If so, I wouldn't want
fuel or oil in it.  That would be more apropriate in the garage
sink, however that module won't be done for some time because I'm
having a lot of difficulty porting the code from Linux.  (It's in
32 bit GNU as assembler format and needs to be converted to
16bit TASM).  Anyone care to do a DJGPP port?
