Puzzle Screen saver
===================
(c)1994 Tim Webber
This program was written using MSVB 3 therefore the file VBRUN300.DLL must be
somewhere in your path.
Blanker is a Windows 3.1 Screen saver. To set it up, simply copy the file
"PUZZLE.SCR" into your Windows directory, and set it up using control panel
in the usual way.
When the screen saver kicks in, the screen will divide up into a number of
squares, and the computer will the start moving the squares around the screen.
It will do this in one of two ways. First, ordered, will move the bits in
order. The second (more fun) moves the bits around in a random fashion
emulating one of those "sliding squares" puzzles.
In the options box you can choose the number of bits, the speed, and the
type of shuffle.
Note that because of the way this program works, if you are short of memory
(system resources), have a large resolution screen, or lots of colours, and
have chosen to have a large number of puzzle peices, then you may have a
problem with this program since your computer will not have enough memory to
draw all of, the squares. You will know if you suffer from this problem by
getting the error message "Can't create Auto-redraw image" if this happens,
decrease the number of peices.
If you have any problems contact me at the address below.
Other Information.
That is just about all I have to say at the moment except to tell
you about registration.
This program is distributed as Shareware. That means you can copy this
program around as much as you like. However, if you use this program then
please send 3.50 pounds (5US Dollars) to me at the address below, and I will
e-mail you a registered copy of the latest version of this program plus
some others I have written. If you don't have an email address , then
for 5.00 pounds (10US dollars) I will send you a disk with program on it etc.
If registering from outside the UK then note, I would prefer UK pounds, eg a
check drawn on a UK bank, or cash, but I will accept US dollars, again Cash is
prefered (it is more easy to change).
Sys-Ops and shareware distributers are welcome to put this program on their
lists. It might be a good idea to contact me first so that you can be sure
of having the latest version.
Any comments suggestions, registrations etc. should be sent to me at the
address below. When writing, please tell me what version of Windows you run
and what, if any, version of MS VB you have. Other system information would
help me to check any problems.
Cheques should be pounds sterling made payable to Tim Webber and sent to me
