[net.micro.atari16] Screen dimmer

Pase@DOCKMASTER.ARPA.UUCP (05/27/86)

Does anyone know of a software screen dimmer for the ST?  It seems that
for someone who knows how to do a desk accessory and handle the screen
and keyborad it should be easy.  What I am looking for is something to
darker the screen after the keyboard and mouse have been inactive.  I
read an add somewhere for such a device which was a part of some other
product, any ideas?  Thanx.  /bill

The people at Solar Powered Software, 1807 N. Evergreen, Chandler, AZ 85224,
make a set of products that includes a crt saver.  After the keyboard has
been inactive for about a minute, the crt goes black.  This function can be
disabled if you want.

I recommend that you go for the whole set, which is called SolaPak.  In
addition to the crt saver, it includes an auto-booting ramdisk of adjustable
size (by editing a text file) and a print spooler/formatter.
