BIRDY SCREENSAVER
=================
Intro
-----
This is a beta version of a screen saver engine
I am developing, I would appreciate it if everyone
could install this on as many machines as possible
and send details of any crashes (along with full error
messages) to me at the email address given below.
In return I shall email all responders to allow them
to have an exclusive copy of my first screensaver when
fully completed.
Requirements
------------
Just over 1Mb disk space
Windows 3.1+/95/NT(?)
4Mb of memory
Soundcard (not essential)
Installation
------------
Run the setup.exe program which was contained in the self-extracting
archive.
Please note that the installation program will select your windows
directory, this beta version should only be installed in the default
directory otherwise it won't find required files and will crash, this is
because it doesnt yet create an ini file.
Features
--------
Birdy installs to control panel as any other windows scrsaver does,
currently you can display the settings panel but settings have no affect.
When the screen saver is running you can press the BACKSPACE key to
get to a 'more info' screen, don't forget to close it when you finish
otherwise it defeats the point of the screensaver! I shall probably
make this box move around if the user doesn't move the mouse etc. after
a set time.
Please feel free to forward any suggestions on what you would like to see
in a screen saver.
If anyone knows of a delphi unit which can play 'mod' music files could
they please let me know, i have seen WGT5.1 for Turbo Pascal 7 which does
this through dos, but haven't come across a windows version as yet.
That's about it .... much appreciated, enjoy....
Thanks for your time
