Message-ID: <1993Nov13.191653.195@csus.edu> Sender: news@csus.edu Organization: California State University, Sacramento X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Date: Sat, 13 Nov 1993 19:16:53 GMT Lines: 24 I finally found and installed the Dancing Bear Screen Saver... Thanks for the hints as to where it was. For anybody else interested in obtaining a copy of the screen saver for Windows you must: ftp to : nic.funet.fi the file is located at: pub/msdos/windows/desktop/dbear.zip to run this file you will also need a file for windows called vbrun200.dll this file can be obtained by ftp to : straylight.acs.ncsu.edu it is located in: /pub/vb remember that both files are binary, so set the file type to binary when downloading. To install the screen saver to windows simply move both files into the Windows directory. Go into your control panel and it should appear as another screen saver. If you have Norton desktop check for its appearance in the Sleeper icon that houses all the screen savers. Good luck.....
