Blank is a screen utility developed by John Socha and
appeared in Softalk magazine in December of 1983. The
program supplied and dated 12/83 was assembled from the
assembly file supplied with the article.
This utility will turn off the screen display if no keys have
been touched for three minutes. When a key is pressed the
display will return. With continues use of the key board the
time is continually reset and the display does not turn off.
Probably the best key to press to regain the display after it
has been turned off is the Scroll Lock.
This utility has the advantage of saving the screen form
damage due to continues display in one location, such as the
bottom line or in a certain location designated by a game.
Continues bright display in one location can cause burning of
the phosphor and a dark spot.
