I took to plunge this afternoon and called a BBS at the University of Sascatchawan ('scuse the probably atrocious spelling), and I've acquired two rather nive utilities. The first is called DESKTOP. Its a utility which is both a screen saver (with a feature similar ot a screen saver some of you may have seen on a common Mac screen saver (bouncing lines/stars/circles/etc)), and more importantly, a screen loader for GIFs and BitMaps. When you run it, you can specify a single GIF or Bitmap file for display in the DeskTop window of PM (the normally plain gray background), or you can specify a directory , which results in it picking a GIF or Bitmap from that directory at random. The second is a PM GIF displayer, which is not the best displayer I've seen, but does run as a PM window. Anyway, UUENCODED mailings of the two ZIP files will follow this letter. --Mike Primm
