DESCRIPTION

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