Desqview (a program from Quarterdeck) is a pretty good screen saver. I think it has problems with Hercules cards, but works pretty well on all the standard IBM monitors. It can also do multi-tasking; I'm not sure if this feature can be disabled if all you need is the screen saver. Duncan Murdoch N.B. :-)

Can anyone recommend some utility programs (especially shareware ones) which include screen-saver types of devices? And is it true that most modern short-phosphor CRT's just don't suffer from burn out anyway? Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David N.
