#.scr help
6 messages in this thread
I've looked up and down and don't seem to see what I'm looking for. Maybe
someone can help.
I'm looking for a way to use either 3ds or animator files and access them using
them with the windows screen saver. In other words, something that converts
these to .scr files or an scr file that can run them.
Anyone? Your help is appreciated. Jeff
Jeff,
There are several utilities that will play FLIC files as screen savers. Search
the libraries for the keywords SCREEN or SAVER and you will find a few to
choose from.

Brian,
Thanks for the feedback. I will research them more. I'm looking specifically
for .scr support. Karl Knelson in the animator section refers me to an $800
program called IMAGE-Q which does flics to .scr's. We'll see…

Jeff:
FWIW, ImageQ is listed at $795 but folks like ProVantage and other mail order
places have it for $549 and less. Did I miss your message? Flics to
screensavers with ImageQ was what I was doing this afternoon. Let me know if
you have more questions.

Hi Jeff,
I found this popular file in the library. Maybe it'll help.
