/* circle2.c
 * coded in C on a hot day in Tucson AZ by Chris Hays from Michael Eisenburg's 
 * "Programming In Scheme" pc scheme implementation of circle2, 
 * originally by John E. Connet of the University of Minnisota
 *
 * Performance Note:
 *
 * This program took 25 minutes to run using a trident SVGA card
 * and 14 seconds (640x480) and 37 seconds (1024x768) using an
 * ATI Graphics Vantage with libgrx 2.02 and DJGPP 1.08 -- a nice improvement
 * both cards on the same 40-Mhz 386 with 8Mbytes RAM
 *
 * 	don't forget to include Casa Biegl's libgrx.a when compiling
