CONTENTS: This is a module from the DINOSAVER screen saver. It is run using the Windows desktop screensaver accessed from the Control Panel. A Dinosaur runs across your screen and repeatedly leaps up, claws the screen, and slides down, leaving a "rip" that eventually clears the screen. Included are: README.TXT - This file containing description and installation instructions. DINOSHRD.SCR - Windows compatible screensaver. DISTRIBUTION: This software may be distributed under the following conditions: 1. This file (READ.ME) is included. 2. It is distributed freely. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: In order to run the DEMO DINOSAVER module you need to copy it into the Windows directory and tell Windows to use it. Copy the file DINOSHRD.SCR into the Windows directory on your hard disk. For example, if you copied the file onto a 3.5" diskette drive, and this is B: on your computer, then you would type: "Copy B:\DINOSHRD.SCR C:\windows\*.*" Next you need to tell Windows to run it. From the Control Panel, double click on the Desktop Icon. When the Dialog box appears, select "Dino Shred" from the list of screen savers. This is done by moving down to the screen saver section and clicking on the down arrow on the right side of the "Name" list box. Once the list appears move the cursor to "Dino Shred" and click on it. The Setup button allows you to turn on sound (if you are using the PC speaker driver or sound board card) or allows you to set how frequently the dinosaur leaps (Seldom, Occasionally, or Often) DINOSAVER OVERVIEW: Take an expedition to the Mesozoic Era with DINOSAVER. Your screen will be protected from phosphor burn-in by a massive Brontosaurus who crushes your windows, by a ravenous T-Rex who chases and devours your Icons, by a fearsome Triceratops who attacks it, or by a Deinonychus who viciously shreds it. You will also encounter apprehensive Struthiomimus eluding a frightful Tyrannosaurus, a peaceful Brachiosaurus herd dining upon lush vegetation, and Mesozoic sportsmen captured in their favorite sports settings. Included are many other fun modules that entertain and educate while protecting your monitor. DINOSAVER includes user-configurable modules complete with sound effects and on-line help plus two interactive modules: Dino Trivia and Dino Engineering. Dino Trivia satisfies your appetite for dinosaur facts by providing over 1,000 challenging multiple-choice questions. In the non-interactive mode, questions and answers are automatically displayed for you. In the interactive mode the computer measures your performance as you answer the questions. Dino Engineering allows you to measure your genetic engineering skills by combining color-coded DNA strands into fascinating new dinosaurs. The outcome of your engineering is automatically displayed and the dinosaur's chance for survival is assessed. DINOSAVER's modules are accessed through an intuitive graphical user interface. The main control panel provides a variety of functions that allow you to customize your copy: Help: The on-line help system provides you with the information you'll need to enjoy DINOSAVER. Modules: DINOSAVER's modules are selected by clicking on the desired title. The behavior of the selected module can then by customized through the Setup button. Once configured, the Demo button can be used to preview the screen saver. Run Multiple Modules: DINOSAVER supports "Module Switching". That is, when the screen saver activates, DINOSAVER can run one module for a while and then switch to another and so on. You can set the time that each module will run. Password Protection: DINOSAVER can protect your system from unwanted visitors by requiring a password to be entered before returning control to Windows. Security Log: It also maintains a security log that will allow you to determine if someone shutdown your system in order to defeat the password protection. Screen Control Corners: DINOSAVER's control corners allow you to activate it immediately or to prevent it from running at all. Delay Time: DINOSAVER monitors the activity of your mouse and keyboard. When it detects inactivity over a specified period of time, the selected screen saver module(s) is started.
