TITLE

Amiga computers.
VERSION
Version 37 Revision 10
AUTHOR

DESCRIPTION
Blanker is a complete modular screen blanking package designed
with AmigaDOS 2.04+ in mind. This software takes advantage of
all the new features of ADOS 2.04+ in order to make it as upward
compatible with new releases as possible. A few of the features
are listed below:
o Screen Mode Database use in each module
o Full Commodities interface
o Font sensitive window
o Public screen support
o GadTools interface
o IFF Preferences files
o Use of tool types to support global and local prefs
o AppWindow support
Additionally, to ease use and installation I have provided the
following:
o "Installer" installation script
o "AmigaGuide" format documentation
Currently, the following blanker modules are available for
Blanker:
o Simple black screen (resident)
o Moire/Bouncing lines (uses all 256 colors in AGA)
o Floating Clock (with font, and time format settings)
o Floating Text (font settings)
o Fade out
o Sliding puzzle
o Swarm (Bees and Wasps) (ported from ASwarm)
o Plasma (ported from AfterDark)
o Fractal (ported from FracBlanker)
o Dragon (ported from AfterDark)
o Interference (ported from AfterDark)
o Flying Toasters (ported from Flying Toasters)
A few additional features:
o Random blanker selection mode
o Robust, concurrent messaging system
o Blanks the mouse (in an OS friendly manner)
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
AmigaDOS 2.04 or greater is required (ADOS 3.0 is supported).
