- I'd love to find a Netware-compatible screen saver; not for the
- file server, but for our DOS workstations. A problem occurs
- when our tape streamer software (Cheyenne ArcServe) tries to back
- up a machine which is switched on, but unattended. Normally this
- would work, but if our screen saver (Explosiv) has cut in, the
- back-up process stalls until ArcServe gives up waiting for the
- workstation to be free. If you are lucky, you realise what has
- happened, and press a key on the workstation. If not, no backup...
