[comp.windows.ms] EGAUTIL8 ScreenBlanking

stanwass@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu (08/10/90)

I have been using EGAUTIL8 with WIN3, and am wondering what is the
   best way to get the screen blanked.

COMMENTS ???

Do I run EGAWUTIL from Windows (and how ?) or do I run EGAUTIL from DOS ??

I downloaded EGAUTIL8 a few days ago to do screen-blanking in DOS and
Windows.  It works Great (so far).  You first run EGAUTIL from DOS (which
apparantly loads a TSR).  Then, you add EGAWUTIL.EXE to the Load= line in
WIN.INI.  This apparently loads a DLL that traps Windows mouse movements
and communicates with the TSR.  EGAWUTIL does NOT appear as an ICON in 
Windows.  I guess that's because it's a DLL.  There should be documentation
with EGAUTIL8 that describes all this.
