System requirements

At first you need Windows95(tm). It should run under WindowsNT(tm) too, but isn't tested yet.
This program requires a fpu unit, because it makes usage of floating point calculations. 
You need a cpu >= 80486. For the spectral colering you may need true color mode (16 bit color depth). 
Tested on Pentium(tm)-133Mhz


____________
Installation
Copy the warp.scr to your windows directory.
Using the desktop properties, you can choose and configurate the screensaver.
