This program was written using MSVB 3 therefore the file VBRUN300.DLL must be somewhere in your path. If you do not have this file, send a 3.5" floppy + SAE, to the address below, and mark it "RUNTIME DISK".
Or you can FTP it from OAK.OAKLAND.EDU. Login as anonymous, use your email address as a password. Change to the PUB/MSDOS/WINDOWS3 directory, and get the file VBRUN300.ZIP.
Blanker is a Windows 3.1 Screen saver. To set it up, simply copy the file "BLANKER.SCR" into your Windows directory, and set it up using control panel in the usual way.
When the screen saver kicks in your screen is just faded to black. "So What?" I hear you cry, "Windows comes with one of those, and that's free". "Aha" I reply, "but this one has password options ( something Micrsoft left out)".
The Password options in the setup form work in the same way as the usual windows SCRs, exept that there is an option call "track password attempts". with this box checked, the program keeps a count of how many unsucesful attempts have been made to enter you password, and then tells you when you enter the correct password.
