   I was wondering if anyone knows of a screen-saver program 
for a clone running ms-dos that would be similar (if not 
duplicate) one I have seen for macs? The one I have seen shows 
what looks like fireworks being shot off every once in a while 
on the screen (after the computer has been idle for a preset 
amount of time). 
   I have one (called Cruise Control) that blanks the screen 
after a set amount of time (default is 30 minutes).  The 
problem is that with a blank screen, I commonly forget that the 
computer is still on. If it would show something, it would be 
much nicer. 
   Does anyone know of an FTP site that has a program similar 
to what I am after? If not, does anyone know where I could get 
the source for a program like this (pascal, assembly or C) so 
that I could modify one to do this? Any help would be 
appreciated.
