- Shuttle SAVE (SHUTSAV.EXE) is a shareware Windows 3.1 screen saver
- that 'takes over' from the screen savers that come with 3.1 like
- 'Stars', 'Flying Windows', etc. It uses BMPs in its native
- directory as material to create spectacular collages from
- launching rocket trails. It has password protection also if
- that is something your want and need. Frankly, I like
- it a whole lot better than other screen savers because I never
- get tired of it ( perhaps I'm just easily entertained). If I get
- tired of a certain BMP picture, I archive it and replace it with
- another I like. At work, I use launching rockets to paint the
- pictures, but at home, the kids love the cartoon icons instead.
-
- Shuttle Save is written in Visual Basic 3.0. As such it
- requires that VBRUN300.DLL exists in your Windows System directory.
-
- I have a 'slick' install program that takes care of everything having
- to do with installation but for file exchanges across BBSs
- it takes up too much room -- adding almost 300K to the files.
- So . . . to install Shuttle Save, please do the following:
-
- 1. Check that VBRUN300.DLL is in your Windows System directory. If not,
- please download a copy and place it there.
-
- 2. Create a directory SHUTSAV
-
- 3. Copy SHUTSAV.EXE and all of the BMPs and ICOs to this directory.
- The BMPs and ICOs supplied are just examples -- you can add
- what you want.
-
- 4. Create a program manager icon for SHUTSAV.EXE by adding it as a file
- in your ACCESSORIES program manager group.
-
- 5. Double-click the SHUTSAV icon and the program will help you complete
- the activation process
-
- That's it.
-
- Thanks for using Shuttle Save. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

- PS. IF when you try to activate SHUTSAV.EXE you get a message that a
- statement like 'SCRNSAVE.EXE= . . .' not found in your SYSTEM.INI
- file and that you must be using Windows 3.0 instead of 3.1 BUT you
- are on Windows 3.1 -- don't panic. Go to your Windows Control
- Panel and activate one of the standard screen savers there.
- This will add the appropriate line to your SYSTEM.INI file. Then
- go back and double-click on SHUTSAV again.
