Very neat. With 7 points it needs 8 processes to get the spirals, but a 3
point version could use the 4-proc launch trick for some extra speed.

Me to 8-)
Digging through the files I turned up some other launches I'd worked on.
One interesting oddity is
mov imp, imp+4000
spl #0, }head
spl tail, }tail
head: jmp imp-2, }head
tail: jmp imp+4000-1, }tail
imp: mov.i #0, 4001
MOV 4001 imps (maybe "binary imps"?) aren't quite as strong as a proper
spiral because two ends can be attacked, but that often won't matter and
just having 2 points simplifies launch considerably. The real problem
with
this launch is that by itself the imp won't grow heavy enough to be much
use
against gates... but perhaps replicated...?
