Short: Modular blanker, v1.22
Kurz: Modulaire bildschutzer, v1.22
Version: 1.22
Author: damian@cybercomm.nl (Rafael Calderon)

Type: util/blank
MBlank is a small(9+kb), modular screen-saver. It runs from
harddisk and/or floppy and/or RAM:
Sofar only three modules are included, but more will follow guaranteed.
Features:
- Font-sensitive, same goes for the MBlank.prefs window and
the Module settings windows.
- External prefs windows, only using memory if needed.
- Module settings alterable from within MBlank.
- Commodity, external control via Exchange.
- Multiple tasks, for maximum flexibility.
- Menu, (if desired) menu-item on WorkBench->Tools menu,
if picked, blanking will start in one second.
- Application window, throwing modules on it will cause
MBlank to 'play' that module immediately, this is handy
for testing modules, Prefs window also AppWindow.
- Relatively small, low memory consumption AND low cpu-usage
if used without modules, or Dimmer.
- Stable, but read the disclaimer first anyway.
- Surprising, future modules might surprise you.
- Internal custom module support, easy settings handling.
- Developers will get friendly support.
- Most up to date version easy to download from the author's
homepage.
- Runnable from CLI or WorkBench/WBStartup.
- Installation-script checks for WBStartup+ presence.
- Tooltype settings via installation-script if expert-mode.
- OS2.04 compatible.
- Custom modules are very easy to implement(in assembly).
