SCREENSV 1.0 by R. Kwok (C) 1993
-------------===========≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Welcome to ScreenSave - an entertaining facility to prevent burn in on your
monitor. This is a colorful alternative to just blanking the screen. Blank-
ing the screen does not refresh the pixels within the monitor (esp. VGA). So
whenever you are bored or have to leave the computer, just run this program.
WINDOWS
-=-=-=-
To use this program in Windows (tm), I've included a PIF file and an ICO file.
Set up a new application, giving the path to the PIF file (and edit the PIF if
needed). Then look at the program properties. Set the icon to the icon I've
included (if desired). It should be easy.
As in DOS, to exit from SCREENSV just push [ESC]. From Windows, you can also
push ALT-F4 as terminating it won't do damage because it doesn't write to the
disk. You cannot however push ALT+SHIFT+[ENTER] in Windows, because this
program cannot run in a window, only Full Screen mode.
If you feel this program is useful to you, a donation would be appreciated.
Registration is *not* required, but any comments or money will be gratefully
accepted. That is what FREE*BUT* WARE is.
FREE*BUT* WARE ≡ New De facto Standard:
---------------------------------------
This program is free but:
» you are not allowed to modify it
» you may distribute it w/o modification
» I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong (e.g. your screen can't handle a
sine wave and starts smoking)
No warranties expressed or implied. Provided `AS IS'
» donations will be accepted
» comments will be accepted
» I retain all rights, including Copyrights (534,912,524) to this program
» The source code is offered for a charge
* This is better than to say it is neither freeware or shareware like most
people do. I've seen people who say their program is freeware but donations
are accepted, so tell them to call it `FREE*BUT* WARE'. Also use this concept
eliminate the need for stupid registration keys or numbers. People have
goofed. They've called it Shareware when they don't really share it. (maybe
they should call it Greedware ?)
Reiteration: I disclaim all warranties relating to this little program. Caveat
emptor
Please send comments / *optional* dough to:

INNOVATIONS
=-=-=-=-=-=
1.0 = This version, probably the only one, unless I release one with a password
feature.
LOOK OUT FOR
COMPFILE - which freshens ZIP files to 2.04 w/ extra compression option.
RMDIRX - which is a QUIET directory removal utility
GRAPHCALC - which graphs line functions (e.g., Y = X)
CALCULATor - which is a pop up calculator
DEGree 2 RADians - which converts degree measure to radians
Who knows?
