wanted: beter screensaver

[Rob Shiras]

I am looking for a screensaver that will:

- blank the screen after a settable number of seconds of inactivity
- make an image of my choice  (in rasterfile format) 'jump' around the
  screen while it is blank
- refresh the screen when:
  - there is activity on the mouse
  - there is activity on the keyboard
  - when a named pipe has been written to

The last criterion is why I have been trying to write my own.  I have had
some success, but the screen 'blank' and 'restore' routines leave much to
be desired.  Therefore, I seek:

- A screen blanking routine and a screen refresh routine that work as well
  as the ones used by 'lockscreen',

             OR

- A screensaver program that does all of the above.

I am using Sun OS 3.5 on a 3/60 with 2 MB main memory and a 140 MB
Micropolis drive.
