To install, copy the BRICKS.AD file to your After Dark directory.

The saver should work in 16-color mode and has been tested on a 386DX-25
with a Trident 8900C display adapter under "standard" 640x480 256-color
mode. Bricks are 16-colors. Works with MultiModule (for neat effects).

The brick laying speed is configurable, as is the type of brick. If you
select a particular brick, it will be laid and then, once the wall is up,
another identical wall is built in front of it (useful to know if you
use MultiModule). If RANDOM is selected, a new brick will be used for
each successive wall.

CHANGES

v1.0  (Feb. 8, 1993)
- initial version

v1.1  (Feb. 21, 1993)
- Blank Screen First now blanks the screen before each wall.
- GPFs would occur with small bricks on large displays (1200x1024, etc...)
  due to a silly lack of range checking. Fixed, and more memory was also
  allocated for small bricks. If a problem occurs, "starry night" should
  display.

v1.1a (Mar. 3, 1993)
- v1.1 introduced a bug which consumes GDI resources. This bug was
  caused by using the RESTART_ME return value of AD, which is buggy.
  Problem has been corrected and there is no resource "leakage".



Suggestions, ideas for other savers, bug reports, etc... are welcome!
This saver was created using Borland C++ 3.1 and source code is available
on request. Also tell me if you like this saver (not as cool as flying
toasters, I know), and send bricks!
