- Documentation for ASMT Screen Blanker 1.0

- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The AMST Screen Blanker blanks the screen of your computer after
- 5 minutes of no keyboard activity. There are actually two
- programs in the set; ASB.COM, which is used for CGA/MDA monitors,
- and ASBE.COM, which is used for EGA type monitors. Neither program
- has been tested on VGA monitors or on all types of CGA, MDA, or
- EGA monitors.
-
- To use either program, type:
-
- ASB
- or ASBE
-
- from the DOS prompt, or include the command in a batch file like
- AUTOEXEC.BAT. The program will display an installation message.
- After the screen blanks, any keypress will restore the screen.
- However, the key you press will be passed on to the currently
- running program, so it is suggested to use a non-action key, like
- [alt] to restore the screen.
-
- After the initial installation, you may temporarily disable the
- program by entering:
-
- ASB -
- or ASBE -
-
- Entering the original ASB or ASBE command again will re-enable the
- screen blanker.
-
- Neither program supports graphics modes, but you may disable the
- programs before entering graphics mode programs. Also, some word
- processing programs rudely capture keyboard interrupts, and are
- not compatible with these screen blankers, so you should disable
- the blanker before entering these programs.
