- I grabbed the XSB kit from Fred Fish disk 687. It seemed promising. However,
- one of the xsb??????.library files was missing -- xsbpsychedelic.library.
- Since the source and makefile for this .library were present, I figured, why
- not try to compile it? Whoops! All kinds of errors. Problem number one has
- to do with the fact that the makefile specifies that the assembler look for
- includes in AINCLUDE: Reading through the sparse documentation doesn't offer
- much help, and my efforts to contact the author via email have resulted in
- naught. I want to know what steps I have to perform to successfully compile
- the example libraries from the sources given, and in doing so learn how to
- write my own blanker routines that will work with the XSBCX client program.
-
- Anybody out there have any experience with this code? Alternatively, is there
- another extensible/modular screensaver program out there which provides an
- easy means for programmers to create blanker modules?
-
- Thanks in advance...
