I have a immediate need to create a screen saver for a (potenitial) client. Is there an easy way using a filic or a sequence of frames to create such a thing? Any responce on this matter is appreciated.

Richard, Try either FXSAVX.ZIP or SCRSHW.ZIP. Both are in the utilities library. Hope one of them does the trick for you. Aaron

Richard: I'm not sure of the files available in the library but since the price might be right try them first. Second choice, a cool tool for many low budget authoring applications, is ImageQ from Image North. You can mix up slide shows, moving and bulleted text, and animations into a single .exe file. The program can automatically make a screensaver out of anything you put together. Bob

Richard, There are about 5 screen saver engines in the librarys here. They each have different interfaces, and options. Some even allow you to play a wave or midi file with your flic animation. Contact the authors for info about customizing the screen saver engines according to your clients needs. They can also give you info about license/copyright issues. I am just finishing up a screen saver project now, and used Tim Hitchings (74774,1345) to customize his FXSAVE demo for the project. Good Luck, Ralph
