- From the FAQ:
- ===
- 7) What screen-savers are compatible with A/UX?
-
- Moire (ver. 3.22) works quite well under A/UX (2&3), even under the Login
- AfterDark (2.0u and later) also works but some displays may not have
- enough memory under Login so the "low-memory" display will be used.
-
- Moire and FMbackup seem a bit incompatible. They both function
- fine together but the combination prevents FMbackup's "Finishing up..."
- window from displaying, although FMbackup does, in fact, finish up.
-
- Darkside is also available. Unlike other screen savers, Darkside is an
- application, not an INIT. This means it won't work under the Login screen.
- The latest version of Darkside is 3.1.1 and will _not_ work on Pre-System7
- systems, so don't attempt to use this under A/UX 2.0.1.
-
- Moire is available via anon-ftp on jagubox.
