Try out Darkness, a Background App- it lets you choose from a variety of screen savers and it's pretty unobtrusive. Otherwise Moire 3.2.2 works just fine. Both oughta be either at sally or sumex. Darkness is freeware as far as I know, and Moire is Shareware, but neither are public domain. -- ================================================================================ | Return unused portion to creator if not fully satisfied. || ---------------------------------------- |================================================================================

It's an application which runs in the background, so it avoids some of the problems associated with inits. It's works much like AfterDark, even has some graphics modules which are similar to those in AfterDark. I got it by anonymous ftp from 128.83.1.21, but its probably at sumex and apple as well.

DarkSide is in /dts/mac/hacks/ Note that that's at ftp.apple.com, not apple.com. The latter is (or almost is) defunct, I believe. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |John Gibson Princeton Univ.

I think I have to object. Dimmer works perfectly under system 7. I think it's one of the best screensavers around. It's NOT public domain however, it's part of MicroSeeds Screen Gems package. Not expensive, and well worth the price, but not free. --maarten -- In real life: Maarten Carels Computer Science Department University of Amsterdam email: maarten@fwi.uva.nl
