I don't know if anyone released copper-chunky before I released Announce, but I definitely had never seen any before I wrote my version.
The routine from WoC was directly the inspiration - Chaos had snailmailed me that routine as a standalone executable, as a preview for an upcoming demo. I quickly came up with the copper version. I could actually have included it in 3d demo 2 as I had written the effect before its' release. However, I wasn't great at keeping up with new releases, so I didn't see WoC until afterwards, and didn't want to break his trust by releasing my version before him.
