DESCRIPTION
       The drift program draws drifting recursive fractal cosmic flames

OPTIONS
       drift accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -visual visual
               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
               visual.

       -ncolors integer
               How many colors should be used  (if  possible).   Default  200.
               The  colors  used  cycle through the hue, making N stops around
               the color wheel.

       -count integer

       -grow

       -no-grow
               Whether fractals should grow; otherwise, they are animated.

       -liss

       -no-liss
               Whether we should use lissajous figures to get points.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
