I have an SCO Xenix 2.3.1 installation on a monochrome system, and the customer would like to have the console screen timeout (like his Wyse 150's do). Is there some great mythical utility that can do do this (or does he just have to switch to the worms multiscreen?) /--------------------+ +----------------------\ | Dave Shevett | "The shortest distance | Labyrinth II BBS | | Lawrenceville, NJ | between two puns is a | (609) 584-8774 | | shevett@mccc.UUCP | straight line..." | 12/24/19200 PEP 24hrs| \--------------------+ - Doc Webster +----------------------/

Is there some great mythical utility that can do >do this (or does he just have to switch to the worms multiscreen?) There is no support for a driver level screen saver in 2.3. In 3.2 we added one on the VGA. I was told that the monochrome monitor (some of them anyway) would start smoking if you turned off the blanked the screen for any length of time. (Now that's cost reduced) -- Brian Chapman uunet!sco!chapman Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
