Does an NDA exist that will blank the screen after a time (perhaps selectable) of screen inactivity? Any information will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. arpanet: santini@nadc.arpa

It's the Alarm Clock CDA and it's available from America Online and GEnie as well. Even though it has an alwarm clock feature I only use it to blank my screen after five minutes. I've been using it a month or so and have not had any problems with it. I'll post it to comp.binaries.apple2 if enough folks are interested in it. -- Paul Hutmacher | paul@nuchat.UUCP |Sometimes the only thing a P.O.

Thanks in advance. > > arpanet: santini@nadc.arpa Yes, although you might have trouble finding it. It was in a package called DeskWorks put out by StyleWare in 1987. Claris bought StyleWare and sold all of the non-AppleWorks stuff to Beagle. Talk to them about actually getting the package. A couple of the NDAs in the package (not including the Screen Saver) don't work with system versions later than 3.1, however. -- Syd Polk | Wherever you go, there you are. jazzman@claris.com | Let the music be your light.

We think we'll have it finished around the end of the month, if everything goes well. It'll be $10 Shareware. Also, we'll distribute the format for a blanker file, so that if you decide you really want a screensaver that has fish swimming around, making it look like you put your goldfish bowl in front of the monitor, YOU can write it! :) Jonah jonah@amos.ucsd.edu

While you are at it, could you write an init/cdev which has Oscar jumping out of the trashcan whenever it's emptied? The Mac has this but of course it is in b/w.
