- What should have been in the LZH file:
-
- FAZE.PRG The screen saver program.
- FAZE_CFG.PRG The config program.
- READTHIS.1ST This file.
-
- This program is Freeware. You may distribute it as you like.
-
- What this is:
-
- This is Faze, a really simple screen saver. Just put it in your AUTO folder
- and whenever you don't move the mouse or press a key for two minutes, the
- screen will switch to the "Faze". Anything else that's running will still keep
- going; Faze uses only a little processor time. Please note, however, that Faze
- uses 34K of RAM, because it uses its own screen. That's the price you pay for
- a screen saver that does more than just black out the screen. You also need a
- color monitor to use Faze. I haven't tested Faze with a TT, but it _should_
- (no promises) work all right.
-
- FAZE_CFG is quite simple to use. When you run it (from the Desktop, any
- resolution) you'll get your choice of three buttons: "Config", "Look", and
- "Exit". Select "Config" to change the configuration of the program (see
- below), "Look" looks at the Faze screen until you press a key/move the mouse,
- and "Exit" will exit without doing anything.
-
- When you click on FAZE you will see an alert box appear, with three buttons:
- "<", "2", and ">". "<" and ">" can be used to increase and decrease the time
- Faze will wait before saving your screen, in minutes. The default here is two
- minutes, but you can set this as high or low as you want. When you've selected
- the time you want, click on the center button. That's all. Now just decide if
- you want to save the configuration to FAZE.PRG; answer "Yes" or "No" to the
- alert. Even if you don't save the configuration, if Faze is already loaded,
- the change will go into effect right away. When saving the configuration, the
- program will search the current directory and the AUTO folder of the current
- drive to try and find FAZE.PRG.
-
- That's basically all there is to it. This was just a simple program, and I
- felt like doing it. Questions/comments can be directed to:

- Say, have you heard about DMJ GIF? It's one of the most popular GIF converters
- for the ST, and with good reason! DMJ GIF takes high quality GIF images and
- converts them to high quality Spectrum images. Or DEGAS or Tiny pictures. In
- full color, or grey scale, or monochrome. With the ST's 512-color palette or
- the STe's 4096 color palette. It also includes programs to convert Spectrum
- pictures to low or high resolution DEGAS pictures. And it even includes a
- program to view STe Spectrum pictures on an ST, in 3375 colors! There's even
- more, but I don't have space to list everything here. So where can you get
- this marvel? Try GEnie. Or CompuServe. Or your local BBS. (You're looking
- for DMJ_GIF3.LZH.) Can't find it on your local BBS? I've got plenty of copies
- (grin). Registered versions (which run twice as fast as distributed versions!)
- are available at the above address for only $15, and that includes a printed
- manual. So what are *you* waiting for?
