Okay, I'm just posting this question for a friend and I never read this group, so I have no idea if this question has been thrashed around already. To save bandwidth and your time, we are simply looking for a program that will cause an IBM PS/2 to "fall asleep", ie. blank out the screen, after a certain time. We would like a program that will work all the time, even if another program is already running. To add to the requirements for this program, I would also like it to be PD, okay? We're too cheap to spend money on such simple delights. Does such a thing exist for IBMs? I'm sure it must. I myself use Macs and there are _too many_ screen savers for Macs. Please send me by mail your answers to my question. In your answer, please include the name of the program (no, really?) and where it can be acquired. Thanks in advance. | John Taggart Gorman Jr. | "I'm a no rust build up man myself." | | -Christian Slater | jtgorman@caslon.cs.arizona.edu | in 'Heathers'

In-Reply-To: message from jtgorman@cs.arizona.edu I personally use BLANKIT. It is PD and has a number of options. Time limit is user definable and it will blank the screen, scroll the screen, place random dots or whatever. It's also quite small. Lastly, you required it to work in any program; this one does in everything I've used. I found mine on several local boards so it should be available elsewhere I'm sure. ---- ProLine: steven@pro-odyssey Internet: steven@pro-odyssey.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-odyssey!steven ARPA: crash!pro-odyssey!steven@nosc.mil
