[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Screen Svaer

kim@wacsvax.OZ (Kim Shearer) (03/22/90)

  I am looking for a screen saver for the IBM pc. Preferably
 public domain, and one which does not take up much memory.

  The PCs will be connected to an NFS network so we need one
 which does not interfere with that. Any suggestions ?

  Also nice would be a caching program which can cache logical
 NFS drives. The caching programs we have work great for the
 pysical drives but ignore the logical drives. Any solutions ?

Ok, this batch certainly won't take much memory, and does the trick
in the most simple way. 

echo off
cls
pause > nul

Try it.  This is not a joke.
