 This software is the source code for producing the smallest (size) screen
 savers that can possibly be created with Delphi.  The package, as it is
 distributed, contains both the source code and a demo final product.  The
 final product can, of course, be used as a screen saver, but has really
 been included to allow you to compare it's size, etc., with screen savers
 that you develop from this model.  The source code can be used to recreate
 the demo screen saver, or develop your own "tiny" sized screen savers.  To
 develop new screen savers from this model, simply follow the directions
 below.  The source code also illustrates the usage of various Windows API
 calls, as well as providing insight into certain Windows oriented coding
 techniques.

 Much research and development time and effort was spent on this software's
 creation, testing, etc.  As such, if you find this package helpful to you
 in your programming endeavors, I would certainly appreciate it if you
 would please send me a few bucks (dollars, greenbacks, etc.) to help cover
 my costs in time, effort, utilities, etc.  I will NOT specify ANY dollar
 amount, simply send whatever you think it is worth to you.  After all,
 Windows programmers are all "brothers under the skin," so to speak.  Many
 thanks to you, in advance, for your support.

 Please send payment ($U.S., cash, check, or money order) to:

 To begin a new screen saver: copy these original .DPR, .RES, and .OPT files
 to a new file basename (like temp.dpr, temp.res, temp.opt), open the new
 .DPR file with Delphi, change the program name, change the screen saver
 name to whatever you want it to be known as by Control Panel/DeskTop, make
 changes to the code areas indicated (and types, variables, constants, etc.)
 to do whatever you need, and then save the file to disk.  The original
 source code indicates areas that you should/should NOT modify, and is
 intended to provide you with a general model (and demo) from which you
 can create other screen savers with minimal effort, other than the actual
 drawing/graphics for your screen updates, etc.  Remember when you are
 creating your graphics stuff, that this screen saver (and ones you create
 with it) MUST use Windows API calls for drawing/graphics stuff.  To do
 otherwise will require the FORMS unit from Delphi (and subsequently add
 about 150K or more to the size of your screen saver).

 To create your screen saver: modify a copy of this source code per your
 screen saver coding requirements and name changes, compile the program
 to an .EXE file, and then rename the .EXE file to a .SCR file.  Note -
 the last step is worth repeating: rename the .EXE file to a .SCR file.
 This renaming of the .EXE file to a .SCR file is the key to having Windows
 recognize the program as a screen saver.

 To install your screen saver: copy the .SCR file to the Windows directory
 (typically "c:\windows"), from Program Manager open Control Panel, run the
 DeskTop application, select your screen saver from the screen saver list,
 press "Test" or "Setup" if you wish (to check it out), and press "OK" to
 activate it or press "Cancel" to abort changes.}
