Hi !
I recently downloaded the ScreenBlank utility posted in
comp.binaries.os2. On my machine (IBM Model 80, 2 MB, 8514/A
graphics, IBM OS/2 1.1 EE) ScreenBlank shows the habit that,
if time to clear the screen by popping up, after it cleared the
screen, the original screen is quickly build up again. After
the time out occurs again, the same as above happens, and so
a third time, then it really is blank!!
No - I am sure I haven't touched my keyboard or the mouse.
I took hands off my keyboard and mouse and watched (time out
set for 1 minute) and the above happens. The error is fully
reproducable!
Also, I would like to encourage the author of ScreenBlank
to enhance this thing a little : On XWindows, you can
see Fractals or Conway's Life (on VAXes and SUNs) when
the screen is cleared - for lock e.g.).
Could you write this tiny little code into ScreenBlank....???
That would be so nice.
Thanks alot!
Oliver Kluge
