Please let me know what you think.

Here is the README file:

FireflyView
version 0.9
July 4, 1993
andrew abernathy

This is a screensaver module for Sam Streeper's excellent BackSpace
screensaver.  This module randomly moves "fireflies" (pixels) around
on a solid background.  I think it's way cool in total darkness
and a complete washout in bright light.  Judge for yourself - it's
free.  This package contains both source and a fat binary for the
module, though it hasn't been tested on Intel.  The makefile defaults
to creating a fat binary for both Motorola and Intel.

To install, either copy FireflyView.BackModule to ~/Library/BackSpaceViews
or /LocalLibrary/BackSpaceViews, or type "make install" from a
shell while in the FireflyView directory; this installs in
~/Library/BackSpaceViews by default.
