| Screen Saver Tektonix Software |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Wobbles your screen so it looks as though it's made from jelly. User
configurable with context sensitive help.
FILES------------------------------------------------------------------------
File_id.diz History.txt Wobble!.scr Wobble.hlp Wobble!.txt
INSTALLATION-----------------------------------------------------------------
Copy the .scr file to your \Windows\System\ directory and use its right click
menu or the Control Panel to configure. To install, reverse the process.
ALSO: Use our SaveAble! utility to give Windows screen saver hotspots.
LIBRARY FILES----------------------------------------------------------------
This program needs the Visual Basic 4.0/32 runtime files in order to run.
These are available, along with other files that maybe needed, from the
library section of our homepage:

BACKGROUND-------------------------------------------------------------------
Screen savers stop phosphor burn in on your monitor. This is when a residual
image of your display can be seen if the same image is on screen for long
periods of time. This effect/problem can be seen at train stations.
OPTIONS----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can vary the severity of the wobble, from a slight judder to a near
earthquake shake. You can also Unwobble the screen every so often, which
starts the whole process again. Also invert the screen colours if you want,
in a number of different ways. Configuration now supports context sensitive
help and desktop preview.
SPECIFICATIONS---------------------------------------------------------------
Wobble! achieves nearly a thousand wobbles every second.* However, this
speed varies when screen size or colour resolution, or indeed the speed and
type of the host computer are taken into account.
* Tested on a 8MB 486 DX50, with Cirrus Logic 5428 in 640x480x256 resolution.
