Shuttle SAVE (SHUTSAV.EXE) is a shareware Windows 3.1 screen saver
that 'takes over' from the screen savers that come with 3.1 like
'Stars', 'Flying Windows', etc. It uses BMPs in its native
directory as material to create spectacular collages from
launching rocket trails. It has password protection also if
that is something your want and need. Frankly, I like
it a whole lot better than other screen savers because I never
get tired of it ( perhaps I'm just easily entertained). If I get
tired of a certain BMP picture, I archive it and replace it with
another I like. At work, I use launching rockets to paint the
pictures, but at home, the kids love the cartoon icons instead.
Shuttle Save is written in Visual Basic 3.0. As such it
requires that VBRUN300.DLL exists in your Windows System directory.
I have a 'slick' install program that takes care of everything having
to do with installation but for file exchanges across BBSs
it takes up too much room -- adding almost 300K to the files.
So . . . to install Shuttle Save, please do the following:
1. Check that VBRUN300.DLL is in your Windows System directory. If not,
please download a copy and place it there.
2. Create a directory SHUTSAV
3. Copy SHUTSAV.EXE and all of the BMPs and ICOs to this directory.
The BMPs and ICOs supplied are just examples -- you can add
what you want.
4. Create a program manager icon for SHUTSAV.EXE by adding it as a file
in your ACCESSORIES program manager group.
5. Double-click the SHUTSAV icon and the program will help you complete
the activation process
That's it.
Thanks for using Shuttle Save. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

PS. IF when you try to activate SHUTSAV.EXE you get a message that a
statement like 'SCRNSAVE.EXE= . . .' not found in your SYSTEM.INI
file and that you must be using Windows 3.0 instead of 3.1 BUT you
are on Windows 3.1 -- don't panic. Go to your Windows Control
Panel and activate one of the standard screen savers there.
This will add the appropriate line to your SYSTEM.INI file. Then
go back and double-click on SHUTSAV again.
