The applet was developed autumn 1999 and was released for the public in 2000. If you decide to send a copy of the software, please do include this document with it.
By the way. Postcards, or even donations in any form and of any value are welcome. They will encourage me to release other fun stuff :-). Please give me at least a hint as to where you use it on the web!
