   Well, for you and others who didn't see it when it came out, Toast is a
FreeWare Twilight II module that puts some flying toasters on the screen in
a patter reminiscent of some other screen saver. :) It's sitting on 
cco.caltech.edu in the directory pub/apple2/addons/twilight.ii. The fixed
version should be on cco and comp.binaries.apple2 in a few hours; I just
need to re-pack the archive with the new contest rules, and then I'll put it
up.
 
   Toast was only a beta; it's allowed to have some flaws (like no sound/
APF support yet), but file-trashing bugs shouldn't have gotten out.
