[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Graphic Screen Savers

fink@vms.macc.wisc.edu (Jerry Fink - MACC & DACS) (09/08/88)

Are there any good graphic screen saver programs out there - shareware or
not? The problem: we have a variety of IBM ps2's, Compaq's, and Leading
Edge's. Most of these are left running all day. If you we use the boring
scrnsave.com the vast majority of the users believe the computer is turned
off and begin flicking the on/off switch.
                     Thanks

If you can use a menu system, Try AUTOMENU by Magee Enterprises. AUTOMENU is
a menu system that is invoked out of the autoexec.bat file and provides a 
attractive screen listing of all available programs. It is user configurable
and has password capability. It has a built in screen saver that will blank
the screen after a predetermined time and then display a message on the screen
that the screen has been blanked to save the screen. This message moves to 
diffrent postitions on the screen so it will not burn into the screen. 
AUTOMENU is shareware and is available on many bulletin boards. Their address 
is : 

              Magee Enterprises
              6577 Peachtree Industrial Blvd
