Thank you MCP contributors!

In a longish chain of events, I stumbled across this article  
describing the refactoring of Java swing component drawing behavior  
into objects called "Painters".
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/joshy/archive/2006/09/introducing_pai.html

Which is pretty much the same idea I was fooling around with about 3  
years ago which I called Bricks.

So for grins I loaded up my old Bricks image and thought I'd bring  
the stuff forward and take another run at the fence by abandoning the  
idea of changing event handling and sticking with improving UI  
construction, painting and layout.

When I got the code filed into a modern 3.8 image, I was really  
pleasantly surprised to find the Morphic code in considerably better  
shape than I remembered.  I assume this is the results of the MCP  
project and I just wanted to say thanks!  It is a lot easier to find  
things and all the new comments are great.

Anywhere to download this from?

I'm updating it now - I'll put up an MC archive somewhere in the next  
week.
