My God, John, I feel so stupid. Last week, I browsed through the IRTC files
(on the cd, supporting the good cause!) and I didn't notice your wonderful
animation.

Thanks everybody for the handy tips. The Japanese page looks good (though I
too have some trouble understanding the lingo).

Meanwhile, I spent too many hours calculting vectors and rotations and
putting the tiles one by one  in a frame.
