   I'm planning on incorporating a screen saver into my program.
From what I gather, I'll need to hook onto 2 interrupts, 0x1C and
0x09.  My hook to interrupt 0x1C will increment a counter every
time it is called and if the counter is greater than a certain
amount of time, blank the screen.  My hook to interrupt 0x09 will
unblank the screen and clear the counter if the screen is already
blanked, otherwise it will just clear the counter.  Can someone
tell me if this will work or have any suggestions/improvements?
Thanks!
