Here is a simplified version of 'night', coupled with 'killer'.
(It is modified to conform to my "resident utility protocol".
The source code (in assembler language) is available upon request.)

Reminder:  'Night' blanks out the screen after 2 minutes of no activity.
Any mouse or keyboard input, or any BIOS text output, will turn screen
on again.  'Killer' enables escape from hung-up programs: hold down the
<Control>, <Alternate>, and BOTH <Shift> keys and press <Return>.
'Nite' combines the two utilities.

*   WARNING:
*
* This is NOT a "well-behaved" TOS program.  In fact, it probably
* will not work as-is with the next version of the TOS ROMs.
* (It's the 'killer' portion that's naughty, not the 'night' portion.)

BTW:  It works fine with the 'eternal' RAM disk.  Just make sure the RAM
disk is installed before 'nite'.  (Put them in the 'auto' folder in that
order.)
