I would like to find a screen saver that makes dancing patterns in graphics like people have for their Macs (shudder :^).

It's "fire42.arc" in the mswindows directory on chyde.uwasa.fi. I like it better than any other screen saver I've seen, so much so that when I'm leaving my pc for a while, I always start Windows up, just to have the screen saver avaliable. Scott D.

Yes, I have one. It's called explod and it runs under CGA (sorry herc users). I can send it to whoever wants it. Just send me some mail at the address below... -Scott Larsen larsen@mist.cs.orst.edu UUCP: hplabs!hp-pcd!orstcs!larsen -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This town needs an Enema!" - The Joker

However, it is a graphics program rather than a traditional screen saver which blanks the screen after a certain period of inactivity.

But the main point is that with a little creative programming, one san make a screen saver out of the basic explod program. Just write a c program that execs explod after a given number of non-active seconds. -Scott Larsen larsen@cs.orst.edu UUCP: hplabs!hp-pcd!orstcs!larsen -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Open the pod bay doors, Hal." - David Bowman
