Old-timer question about a specific DOS program

Many years ago back in the time of DOS there was a specific graphics program that produced a variety of impressive sample graphics, such as a kaleidoscope. It ended with a religious statement, but I say that just to help identify it. I have not seen a Windows version of it. Does anyone remember the DOS version?

I canot say that I do, but this may possibly be of interest…

Look at it here…

I remember the DOS days, but don’t remember that. However, I did find this and it looks like someone made an emulator in Linux Ubuntu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tp8rWVTnZQ

Thank you. That looks like the type of thing I remember. The program I tried to describe did more than kaleidoscopes but the program you found appears to be good at doing kaleidoscopes. I found the C source code for the DOS program.

After many months of searching the archives of my mind it finally whispered the name dazzle. With that I found Razzle Dazzle Screensaver - YouTube. The comment about “Our creator” at the very beginning indicates this is the program. In many places it is called a screensaver but it is not a screensaver. I cannot be sure that is the program but nearly certainly it is. The YouTube video shows the variety of images generated.
