- Monitor Saver Version 2.0 Upgrade Information
- Utility Pak 3.0 Now Available!
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- June 18th, 1990
-
- Version 2.0 represents a completely new version of Monitor Saver.
- A list of all Version 2.0 features are listed below:
-
- 1.) Monitor Saver returns control to the application in use when the
- screen was blanked. The application will be active as if no
- blanking had occurred.
-
- 2.) Alt Tab, Alt Esc past Monitor Saver with no interference. In
- addition you may assign Monitor Saver a "Hot Key" by creating a PIF
- file using the PIF Edit Program.
-
- 3.) Monitor Saver will recognize keyboard activity regardless of the
- application in use. If you are using a Communications Program for
- example, Monitor Saver will not blank the screen until it detects
- no keyboard or mouse events for the specified delay time. Upon screen
- restoration the program will be active as if no screen blanking had
- occurred. This is helpful if you often make large data transfers as
- it will protect your monitor during the transfer session.
-
- 4.) Non Windows programs running full screen will be blanked after long
- periods of keyboard inactivity. The full screen Non Windows App will
- be automatically minimized and control will be returned to the Windows
- Desktop upon screen restoration. Maximize your full screen application
- and return to work where you left off.
-
- 5.) Non Windows programs running in a Window will be blanked using the
- currently defined delay time. Again, upon screen restoration you will
- be returned to the application.
-
- 6.) Custom "Moving Icons" are available for Monitor Saver. Please contact
- us for further information on how to order your custom icon.

- Version 2.0.

- NEW UTILITY PAK 3.0
- -------------------
- Utility Pak 3.0 is a collection of Windows programs designed to enhance
- the Windows environment. Below is a VERY BRIEF description of each program.
-
- Applications Manager
- --------------------
- The applications Manager allows you to load and run multiple windows
- programs with documents or data files attached to each program.
- You can specify whether to start the application as a window or an Icon on
- the desktop.
-
- The Applications Manager allows you to start Windows from the command line
- and have it run all the programs and their attached documents or data
- files so you can be ready to work right away!
-
- From the Windows environment you can choose and run any number of
- different application sets.
-
- Simply click on the appropriate set and those programs will load and run.
- You can create and edit as many application sets as you wish using your
- favorite text editor or the Windows notepad.
-
- Clip-It
- -------
- Clip-It allows you to capture a portion of ANY Windows Screen,or an entire
- screen and saves the image to the clipboard. You may then view it and
- save it in Bitmap or Metafile format. Great for cutting an Icon or other
- portion of the display to a file and then modifying it using any Windows
- graphics program. We use it for creating custom Icons with the SDK Paint
- program.
-
- Memory Monitor
- --------------
- The Memory Monitor displays the total amount of free memory available
- as a bar graph running in an Icon Sized Window on the desktop, or
- displayed in a small window in text format, or both! In text format it also
- displays the current Windows operating mode, ie... (Enhanced,Standard,Real).
-
- View Font
- -----------
- Tell at a glance what screen and printer fonts are currently available.
- The View Font utility allows you to display a font in Normal, Bold, Italic,
- Bold Italic, Underlined, and Strikethrough in all available point sizes.
- This is extremely useful if you are considering changing a font in your
- document, but wish to examine the font's appearance and leading first.
- You can examine the font right next to your document for a true WYSIWYG
- comparison.
-
- Safe Memory
- -----------
- This memory checker allows you to determine the amount of free memory
- available for running a Non Windows application. Written in assembler to be
- compatible with Windows 3.0. It provides you with a SAFE MEANS of checking
- the free memory. Some user's have been using the DOS chkdsk command WHICH
- SHOULD NEVER BE DONE for any reason from Windows.
