I'd assume that you basically create a graphics DS> program of some kind, and then compile it especially for use as a .SCR The details are in a Knowledge Base article (which I don't have handy right now). A screensaver is basically a .EXE renamed to .SCR, placed in the \WINDOWS directory. You do have to do something special to the "Application Title" when you are compiling to an .EXE (I believe you need to prefix it with SCRNSAVE: but I could be wrong as I am quoting this from memory). --- Msged 4.00 * Origin: Ready & Determined (819) 772-9277 (1:163/506) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 178 VISUAL BASIC Ref: EFJ00001 Date: 11/07/97 From: JEFF HUNTER Time: 09:39am \/To: KENNETH DANNER (Read 5 times) Subj: Windows Explorer KD> I must have wrote this message without thinking.

Although this does work, when you BT> get up to 100 lines on a 386 it is not fast enough. That is exactly the way you do it, and the reason most people write their logs the other way. You could also write each line to a data table with a time and date stamp, index the table by date and time in descending order, and then print the table's records in reverse order within the game. That's how I would do it. This method has the advantage in that you can print a particular day's worth of logs, or everything that's happened since the user was last on-line, and you can delete all entries more than X days old. --- SLMR 2.1a -+- OLMS 2.5 UNREG --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: &TOTSE -> Raw Data for Raw Nerves <- 510/935-5845 (1:161/211) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 178 VISUAL BASIC Ref: EFJ00003 Date: 11/10/97 From: DANIEL AOYAGI Time: 03:19pm \/To: ALL (Read 5 times) Subj: Animated GIF OCX Hi All...
