note that it doesn't work with this month's UPDATE to 1.2, and will hang your system requiring a reboot when the blanking occurs. From: ballard@cheddar.cc.ubc.ca (Alan Ballard) Path: cheddar.cc.ubc.ca!ballard A version modified to work with the new release can be obtained via anonymous FTP from mtsg.ubc.ca (128.189.103.1). "get os2:scrnbl12.zip" in binary mode. (For the curious: in release 1.1, in order to be able to use the mouse to "unblank" the screen, it was necessary to explicitly open the $mouse dev after doing the VioPopup used to blank the screen. I don't know if this was necessary with the first version 1.2, but I left the code in. With the new release of 1.2, this call to DosOpen hangs somewhere inside the system, but it all works OK with the call removed.)
