- Despite what I originally wrote, BlackOut does not work under A/UX 3.0.
- Moire 3.22 works fine but has a very minor incompatibility with FMbackup.
- AfterDark (version v) also works great with no problems at all (although
- one user did mention that it ran _very slowly_ on his system... This has
- not been seen by any others).
-
- There is also an Application called DarkSide... As far as I can tell, it
- works just dandy under 3.0.
-
- If you use one of the CDEV/Extensions screen-savers, then you'll need to
- put them in the A/UX System Folder (usually /mac/sys/System Folder) and
- not in MacPartition. This get's asked a lot... I think I'll add it to the
- FAQ ;)
