COMPILE
     There should be a Makefile that will complie the program for you.  Just
     type make on a command line.

        % make

     To remove all core and .o files use the clean option.

        % make clean

     To remove all core, .o files, and the executable program prog0, use
     the clobber option.

        % make clobber

Here is some sample output:


The hair although starts to move in the direction of the flow field, the hierarchy breaks, causing the hair to separate




Here we see the vector field moving faster.



Here we see the flow field at rest, so the hair is motionless.
