Sleeper version 1.1
by A.C. Barentyne
(c) 1997, Paradigms Lost
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Contents of the zip:
The zip file Sleeper.zip should contain the following files:
Sleeper.exe : Main program file
Sleeper.txt : This file
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Installing the program:
This program is distributed as a Zip compressed file. Unzip the file,
using WinZip, or some other PKZIP compliant decompression utility, into
any directory.
If you wish to have Sleeper run at startup, create a shortcut to it in
you Start Menu, under the Startup folder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Uninstalling the program:
Delete the files listed above. The program also writes a registry
entry under the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER//Software//Paradigms Lost//Sleeper
You may freely delete this key.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
System requirements:
Any computer running Windows95 or WindowsNT 3.51 or later should have
no problems running the Sleeper program. If you do have any problems,
please let me know. See 'Questions, comments, and bugs' below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions:
Run the program. An icon will appear in your system tray (the inset
in the taskbar where the clock and speaker may appear). Right click
on the icon to see the menu, or double left click to cut straight to
the settings dialog.
The icon indicates the current state of the Sleeper program. A yellow
exclamation point indicates Sleeper is watching the cursor location.
A green exclamation point indicates the screen saver is about to
activate. This will last for 2 seconds, allowing you to change your
mind.
A red exclamation point indicates Sleeper is blocking the screen saver
from running.
The program switches between these states based on cursor position on
the screen. In the Settings dialog, you define a Sleep Now corner and
a Sleep Never corner. If the cursor is in the Sleep Now corner, Sleeper
will run the screen saver. If the cursor is in the Sleep Never corner,
Sleeper will block the screen saver.
A large yellow question mark indicates the program is inactive, and
is no longer watching the mouse. This state occurs when the Sleeper
Active menu setting is turned off.

Version info:
This is officially version 1.1 of the Sleeper program.
Changes since last version:
* Fixed a bug involving changing screen sizes (such as with QuickRes)
while Sleeper was running. It never read the changes, resulting in
messed up corner sizes.
* Added a corner sizing control to the Settings dialog. Corner size
can now be anywhere from one to 60 pixels.
