Re: Spiro Japh 2

Taking that a bit further...

Why have warnings on if it's not warnings clean?

Also, why not print the whole thing instead of the initials? You can probably do way better than this, but I'm just making the suggestion.

rand          39/999}               sub O123                 {::

I'll be honest with you, I think it's better with with just the letters "JAPH" (or even "Japh"), as there's too much jibberish when you use all 4 words.  Additionally, the new picture looks worse, partly since it's -supposed- to be one of the self-generated patterns, and partly because it's just graphically not as good (eg. the dangling 'or' at the bottom looks out-of-place).

But I'll agree with you on the warnings.  What happened was that after developing it under Windows, when I tried it the first time on Linux, I didn't actually see the warnings until long after I'd published it.

So reformat it. Seriously, I just took a quick stab at it. I don't have the patience or skills, but I admire them in others.

I apologize in advance, but I don't run any program without running perl -c against it first, even for trivial edits. Many programs spew data (or runtime warnings) causing compiler warnings to scroll off the buffer, never to be seen again.
