CMatrix is a program I wrote one evening because I didn't want to have to run Wind*ws to see the cool scrolling lines from 'The Matrix', my fave movie. If you haven't seen this movie and you are a fan of computers or sci-fi in general, go see this movie!!! I have seen it twice, and I'm pondering seeing it again before it comes out on VHS. Cmatrix is written in ncurses under Linux, and should compile on other OSes with few modifications. I am always interested to hear from people who use this program and any modifications they make to it! CMatrix is distributed via the GNU GPL, please see the COPYING file or the GNU Project homepage for more information.
