I am looking for a screen saver that is freeware. Ideally something that
does something, but the most important part is that I can legally give it
to 30+ people where I work.
If you give me a FTP site, please indicate which directory to look for.
E-Mailed resposnes would be appreciated. (Gotta buy a dictionary.)
I have Stuffit 1.5.1 and various BinHex's.
Thanks a lot.

I wrote a thing called ZoomIdle once, and it's free, but the problem with it is that it's a DA and you have to run it manually - it doesn't just take over when you've been idle for some given amount of time. If you want it, see below. Source is available anon ftp to indri.primate.wisc.edu.

robs@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (10/19/90)
An update on the screen saver search:
Moire Created Nov 25, 1987: When returning to Excel the system crashes.
Pyro Created Oct 1, 1988: Error in timer sometimes keeps it from
starting, espicially in Microsoft Word.
Flex 1.0: Locks up the machine every now and then.
AfterDark: Big and expensive, I need something that I can put in 30+
Mac Pluses and SE's with tiny little 20MG hard drives.
Also, I'm still a little new to the net, so when you give a FTP site
please also include the path to the files.
Thanks
Rob

Try using Blackout- it is boring as heck, but is bombproof and doesn't interfere with printing or serial communications. It is available from the CUMUG's library via anonymous FTP (uxa.cso.uiuc.edu) in the directory /mac.

Does not work on the IIci ! It mucks up the colour tables and causes the apple for the apple menu to dissapear. If it ever works properly, I would not mind using it, but v3.02 definately does NOT work. maurice -- Maurice Sharp MSc.

Pyro is NOT public domain. It is widely pirated, but it was never in the public domain. It is available from 5th Generation Systems. The latest version is 4.0 and it works great for me. -- Robert S.

Finally settled on Moire 3.0.2. Seems to work well and is somewhat interesting and, more importantly, somewhat configurable. Thanks for all the help. Rob robs@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu "Either I'm still dreaming, or he's playing clasical music at 78."
