When I saw your message, I thought that it would be extremely unlikely 
that I'd be easily able to locate a disk from 1987. Let's just say that 
the disk Bob Bishop handed me in 1987 is here somewhere, but there have 
been a few disks collected since then. To tell you the truth, it might 
take months to find that disk.

Then I realized that when the Source shut down in 1991, I did some 
massive amounts of downloading, and it took me all of 2 seconds to lay my 
hands on one of those Bob Bishop animations. It's name is Fatworms and 
it's been years since I last saw it, but it got me smiling again.

I've just BinScii'ed it and uploaded it to comp.binaries.apple2. 

It's a BIN filetype written to run under DOS 3.3, but it does work under 
ProDOS. I included some real basic instructions about how to run a BIN 
file, so if you pass along Fatworms to anyone else, please at least 
include that part of the intro text, although if you want to pass along 
the blurb about Shareware Solutions II, you're welcome to do that too ;-)

Enjoy it. There's more where that came from.
