Hi all, after a bug report from Mateusz, I fixed an error in the way FDAPM calculates the "idle ...% of the time" message idleness. In addition, I have added a new tool, IDLEDPMS, which is a small but effective TSR screen saver. For example you run "idledpms 15", the screen saver stays in ram, and whenever you do not press a key for 15 minutes or more, your screen is switched off. Needs DPMS compliant screen and EGA, VGA or VESA VBE compliant graphics card. Both RAM usage and disk usage of IDLEDPMS are less than 1 kilobyte :-). While Windows 3.x or a game with built-in keyboard IRQ driver is active, the screen saver deactivates itself.
So far for the theory, please let me know if it works with your version of Windows 3 and your games :-). Timeout can be set anywhere between 1 and 60 minutes. www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/fdapm-2007jul15.zip Eric PS: You cannot change the timeout or unload idledpms after you load it, it is too simple for that :-). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
