Help!!!  Freeware or shareware that needs to be written!  Here's what's needed:
            A Windows screensaver, accessible through the Control Panel/Desktop
            area, that allows you to specify a program to run.  In other words,
            when I click setup I want to be able to input a command line just
            like when I click Run in the program manager.  There are numerous
            DOS screensavers, and I can write full-screen animations in VB,
            but none of these can be run through the Windows Screensaver
            area.  This can't be all that difficult to program if you're
            familiar with writing Windows screensavers, which I'm sure someone
            here is, but it would be invaluable in my opinion.
If no one is willing to write this, could someone at least tell me what I need
to learn how to do it myself?  Please respond if you're going to do something
so I don't need to ask on every network I find.
                                  -Brad Porter

PS - I'm really just looking for this program so I can use it for myself and
maybe some friends.  It would probably be a highly sought after program, though
.
