                 | 
Notes and minor  | The file Flag.bmp is an ordinary Windows bitmap.  If you
issues           | open it with Paint (or any other bitmap viewer), you will
                 | discover that the image is flipped from its conventional
                 | appearance and has a black bar along the bottom of the
                 | image.  These are necessary to make sure the stars aren't
                 | on the end flapping in the breeze and to give the flag its
                 | proper shape and dimensions when the screen saver runs.
                 | 
                 | Technically speaking, this could also be used by any
                 | screen saver under any operating system, but the task of
                 | converting it to work on any non-Windows system you use is
                 | up to you.
