DESCRIPTION

16       The  deco  program subdivides and colors rectangles randomly.  It looks
17       kind of like Brady-Bunch-era  rec-room  wall  paneling.   (Raven  says:
18       "This  screensaver  is  ugly  enough to peel paint.")  Can also produce
19       more aesthetically pleasing displays via options.
