There are 34 of them, some of them appeared in ScreenPeace and some are new. As with SP and AD, you don't need any of the animiation files - it will just blank the screen. >Two problems I've detected with AfterDark: > 1) When blanking a full-screen DOS application, it does not always > restore the proper colors when it stops blanking.

I have not noticed that problem with Intermission. -- Robert Lee, Class of 1991 | University of California, Irvine |

I just got the latest edition of PC Magazine and it mentions that CompuServe
has some user written modules for Intermission (ScreenPeace gone commercial).
I've seen bunches of modules written for ScreenPeace but not for Intermission.
Any CServe users care to investigate and upload to CICA?
Thanks in advance.
