[comp.sys.next] Screendarkener

smk5@quads.uchicago.edu (stephen mortimer kramarsky) (05/23/91)

Hi all,
  Is there a screen-saver that actually works out there anywhere?  One
that doesn't hang under 2.0 and keeps the screen actually black or with some 
pattern (but not just dimmed so it looks black with the lights on, really
black - even with all the lights OFF! :-)?)

  I tried "screensaver" from sonata.cc.purdue.edu, but the problem is it 
assumes you have a "LocalApps" directory (which my slab does not) and it
doesn't seem to work anyway.  It claims you can customize the install script
to put it anywhere, but (in the .tar I downloaded, anyway) there WAS no such
script! (Sigh!)

  It would be nice if I could find one that works when the Login box is up, but
my machine is in a secure location, so I don't even mind leaving it logged
in, I just NEED as good screensaver.

  Cassandra 1.4 claims to have screensaver support, but darned if I can make it
work!

  E-mail answers and I'll try to summarize.

  Thanx a zillion in advance.
