- DINOSAVER OVERVIEW:
-
- Take an expedition to the Mesozoic Era with DINOSAVER. Your
- screen will be protected from phosphor burn-in by a massive
- Brontosaurus who crushes your windows, by a ravenous T-Rex who
- chases and devours your Icons, by a fearsome Triceratops who
- attacks it, or by a Deinonychus who viciously shreds it. You will
- also encounter apprehensive Struthiomimus eluding a frightful
- Tyrannosaurus, a peaceful Brachiosaurus herd dining upon lush
- vegetation, and Mesozoic sportsmen captured in their favorite
- sports settings. Included are many other fun modules that
- entertain and educate while protecting your monitor.
-
- DINOSAVER includes user-configurable modules complete with
- sound effects and on-line help plus two interactive modules: Dino
- Trivia and Dino Engineering.
-
- Dino Trivia satisfies your appetite for dinosaur facts by
- providing over 1,000 challenging multiple-choice questions.
- In the non-interactive mode, questions and answers are
- automatically displayed for you. In the interactive mode the
- computer measures your performance as you answer the
- questions.
-
- Dino Engineering allows you to measure your genetic
- engineering skills by combining color-coded DNA strands into
- fascinating new dinosaurs. The outcome of your engineering
- is automatically displayed and the dinosaur's chance for
- survival is assessed.
-
- DINOSAVER's modules are accessed through an intuitive graphical
- user interface. The main control panel provides a variety of
- functions that allow you to customize your copy:
-
- Help: The on-line help system provides you with the
- information you'll need to enjoy DINOSAVER.
-
- Modules: DINOSAVER's modules are selected by clicking on

- module for a while and then switch to another and so on. You can
- set the time that each module will run.
-
- Password Protection: DINOSAVER can protect your system from
- unwanted visitors by requiring a password to be entered
- before returning control to Windows.

- order to defeat the password protection.

- you to activate it immediately or to prevent it from running
