** Please Note The Following Change! **
---------------------------------------
Due to your tremendous response( Over 2000 in just three weeks, THANK YOU!).
We have been inundated by requests for support. As with our commercial
products we provide all users of Monitor Saver with prompt and concise
answers to their questions and concerns. In order to cover our costs of
support, THIS AND ALL SUBSEQUENT VERSIONS OF MONITOR SAVER ARE NOW SHAREWARE.
Please take the time to register your program (its only $10.00).
This will help us cover the costs we have incurred just in CIS connect
charges alone!
If you are new to computing or bulletin boards. Shareware distribution is a
way for you to "try before you buy" a program. It is however not free
software. If you like a program you are obligated to pay the author for it.
Deciding to use and not register a program is no different than taking a car
for a test drive, deciding you like it, and never bothering to come back
and pay the dealer for it!
Thank you from all of us at Moon Valley Software!
Version History

Version 1.1 5/28/90
Added user definable default time setting in the win.ini file as per
user's requests.
Version 1.2 06/11/90
Added function to intercept keystrokes from the Windows Message
Que. This eliminates the problem of screen blanking occurring when using
Monitor Saver with a Comm program such as XTALK for Windows, or when
using only the keyboard for input during word processing sessions.
Using Monitor Saver
-------------------
Monitor Saver is a screen saver for Microsoft Windows 3.0 only.
The program loads itself into memory and then becomes iconic. If you have
not added the [Monitor Saver] line to your win.ini file, Monitor Saver
will use its default delay time of 15 minutes before it blanks your monitor.
Setting Up The Delay Time.
--------------------------
1.) You may assign a default delay time by placing the following
statement in your win.ini file:
[Monitor Saver]
delay=X
You can assign X a value in minutes from 1 - 99. This value will then
be used by Monitor Saver each time you start Windows.
2.) Monitor Saver will restore your screen either by moving your
mouse, or by pressing any key on your keyboard.
Changing The Delay Time For The Current Windows Session Only
------------------------------------------------------------
You may increase or decrease the delay time for your current Windows
session by following these steps.
1.) Restore Monitor Saver by double clicking on its icon, or select Restore
from its System Menu.
2.) Press Alt D or click on the Set Delay menu option
3.) A dialog box will be displayed showing the current delay time.
4.) Enter the new delay time and click on the OK button, or press enter.
5.) This will then be the new delay time until you either re-set it as
described above, or exit Windows.
