*depends on libc-2.1.2.so*

WHAT IS THIS?
We've got some free Windows OpenGL Screen Savers available via:
http://www.AlteredWorlds.com [screenshots, html help etc. available]

This is an updated release for AlteredSaver on Linux.
FIXES (from 1.96):
(i) ATI Rage Pro is detected and Alpha Testing disabled so that Bird Bomb looks correct.
(supplimental fix - now works even if bird_bomb is not loaded as first scene)
(ii) additional command line params 'noAlphaTest' and 'win'

hope you like it.
