I think all these are genuine for spin()/brush(); not Xceed specific.

``Everyone I know'' uses Xgobi instead of spin() or brush().
It's multiple times better and it's freely available,
unfortunately not free in the sense of Open Source Software (OSS) / GNU sense.

Brian Ripley might comment on how Xgobi can be made to run under Win9x.
