***************************************************************************** * MVS Console Screen Saver Ver 1.00E (FREE SOFT) * * * * Copyright(C)1995 by Hiroyuki Takemura * * Translated by Hitoshi Ozawa * * Release 1995/01/25 * ***************************************************************************** Thank you for down-loading MVS Console Screen Saver. Getting tired of using Windows? Miss those old MVS console? Then this screen saver is for you. MVS Console Screen Saver displays those old good IBM MVS console displays on Feel the warmth as those JCL commands scroll up your screen. This program only displays MVS like console does not try to fully reproduce it. Some message IDs are changed. If you could find all the changes, you are a real MVS pro (do IBM have MVS specialist licenses like what they give away at those companies that make things for those little boxes?)

Afterthoughts *************************************************************** Somebody wrote that it was impossible to write a Windows screen saver using just Visual Basic. Well, I wrote this screen saver using only Visual Basic in a whip of time. Visual Basic is a great language that even allows me to write a screen saver while humming to myself. I only used ScrollDC to scroll the bitmap images to write this.
