HERCSAVE is a resident screen blanker written specifically for Hercules (tm)
and compatible monochrome graphics cards. It blanks using safe, reliable
routines that work in both the text and graphics video modes of the HGC.
The program features the ability to blank after a specified time, or when a
certain key combination is pressed. Both of these options can be specified
when the program is first loaded or after it is in memory. This allows you to
disable HERCSAVE to avoid conflicts with programs that don't behave well with
screen blankers. HERCSAVE also allows you to remove it from memory
completely. Shareware registration is only $15.

-- NOTE --
This version of hercsave changes the command syntax. Please read the new
syntax carefully before using.

Syntax: HERCSAVE /Tseconds [options]
/t - TIME before screen blanks. This option must be specified to install the
program as there is no default. To disable time-out blanking enter /T0.
/h - HOT-KEY to force blank where 1=Right Shift, 2=Left Shift, 4=CTRL, and
8=ALT. Select any combination of toggle (shift) keys by adding the
desired codes together. The default is <ALT><Left Shift>. To disable
hot-key forced blanking enter /H0.
/o - OPTIONAL retrace screen blanking method. The default method is vertical
size modification.
/u - UNINSTALLS or removes the program from memory.
The TIME and HOT-KEY options may be changed after the program is loaded with
the same syntax used to install.
For example, "HERCSAVE /T300 /H3" would install HERCSAVE to blank after about
5 minutes of keyboard inactivity, and would allow a forced blank by pressing
<LSHIFT><RSHIFT>. HERCSAVE would blank and restore by modifying the vertical
size register.
To print the documentation, at the command prompt type "copy hercsave.doc prn"
without the quotes.
