A screen darkener package I developed is now available via anonymous ftp
from sonata.cc.purdue.edu.  It can be used to completely darken the screen
at logout, thus preventing burnin of the login dialogue box.

The package provides LoginHook and LogoutHook shell scripts and the source
to a small program that lowers and restores the EVS and NVRAM video levels
at logout and login time.

The package may be found in:

	pub/next/1.0-release/sources/darken.tar.Z
or
	pub/next/2.0-release/sources/darken.tar.Z

It has been tested under NeXTStep 1.0 and 2.0, so it is located in both
the 1.0-release and 2.0-release subdirectories.
