FinTec Screensaver for MS-Windows 3.1. The FinTec Screensaver uses a variety of randomly selected patterns to endlessly build up designs. It can take some time to generate something interesting, so please give it a few goes if it is not initially appealing. The screensaver uses a 256 color palette if available, but it also runs on 16-color VGA. There are several configuration options, which can be set using a text editor in the file control.ini in your Windows directory after the saver has been run at least once. Find the section starting with [Screen Saver.FinTec Screen Saver], probably at the end of control.ini. You can change the default option "risky=no" to "risky=yes". Setting to "yes" will cause the mouse to disappear while the saver is running, but it also means that if the saver happens to crash, then Windows must be restarted to re-display the mouse. (Crashes are unlikely, but there are a lot of permutations). You can have messages periodically displayed by adding a "text" line in the control.ini section, such as "text=My message;Second message;Third". Several phrases can be entered, separated by a semi-colon. You may also rename finsave.scr to finsave.exe and run it directly. While the screensaver is running, the following keys can be used: c On a 256 color system, the Colors being used will be changed. f The current drawing will Finish. Useful if it appears to be stuck. 1 Changes the speed to Slow, where only the slower drawings are used so that it less distracting. 2 Normal speed - uses all drawings. 3 Changes the speed to Fast. The speed selected is stored in control.ini, and so that speed is used each time the screensaver starts up until it is changed again. The FinTec Screensaver is provided free of charge, and you are encouraged to copy it, as long as this readme.txt file accompanies it unchanged.
