associated toast, flying across your screen.
OPTIONS
-visual visual

visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
visual.
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-delay number
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03
seconds.).
-speed number
How fast the toasters fly. Larger for faster. Default: 1.0.
-ntoasters number
How many toasters to draw. Default 20.
-nslices number
How many slices of toast to draw. Default 25.
-no-texture

The original After Dark flying toasters, with the fluffy white wings,
were a trademark of Berkeley Systems. Berkeley Systems ceased to exist
some time in 1998, having been gobbled up by Sierra Online, who were
subsequently gobbled up by Flipside and/or Vivendi (it's hard to tell
exactly what happened when.)
I doubt anyone even cares any more, but if they do, hopefully this
homage, with the space-age 3D jet-plane toasters, will be considered
different enough that whoever still owns the trademark to the fluffy-
winged 2D bitmapped toasters won't get all huffy at us.
