There is little change in xfishtank. The change is only to cater for 
RAND definitions which must follow ultrix and sun examples.

FishList must be edited due to limited temporary harddisk space and RAM.

Out of memory error occurs if we load too many/large fishes. I only manage to
put in 2 fishes: teeth & cichlid4.

The bubbles causes server error so must use the option -b 0. A recommended way
of using xfishtank is to put this command line in .xinitrc :
nice -20 xfishtank -b 0 &


I compared it with non shared lib version:

  UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI NI   VSZ  RSS WCHAN  STAT TT       TIME COMMAND
    0   591   586   0  18  0   492    0 pause  Ss   p0    0:11.46  (bash)
    0  1422   591   0   2  0   272    0 -      T    p0    0:00.39  (xfishtank.shlib
    0  1436   591   0   2  0   432    0 -      T    p0    0:00.44  (xfishtank

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root        40960 Jan 14 21:37 xfishtank.shlib
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root       200704 Jan 14 21:33 xfishtank.static

You notice that the static version is up to 5 times larger than the shared
lib version.

I wonder how shared lib xterm is? Any volunteer?
