I am looking for a screen saver program akin to screenblank on SUNs. I believe I was told once that this can only be done through a firmware fix. Does anyone have a clever shortcut? HW: IRIS 4D/70 SW: 4D1-3.1 Thanks, Chris Franz franz@asuvax.asu.edu Engineering Computer Services Arizona State University Tempe, AZ 85287-5206

What about blanktime? I know it doesn't give you a floating "SUN", but it blanks out the screen after a set amount of time. This is on the 3000's, I don't know about the 4D's, but I would think it would be there too. -- Brent L.

It specifies how long the delay should be before the screen goes blank. We are running a 4D/120 and the software version is the same as yours, so I would assume that this would work. (Of course, you know what happens when you assume things...) -Mark Meuer meuer@geom.umn.edu
