- Help!!! Freeware or shareware that needs to be written! Here's what's needed:
- A Windows screensaver, accessible through the Control Panel/Desktop
- area, that allows you to specify a program to run. In other words,
- when I click setup I want to be able to input a command line just
- like when I click Run in the program manager. There are numerous
- DOS screensavers, and I can write full-screen animations in VB,
- but none of these can be run through the Windows Screensaver
- area. This can't be all that difficult to program if you're
- familiar with writing Windows screensavers, which I'm sure someone
- here is, but it would be invaluable in my opinion.
- If no one is willing to write this, could someone at least tell me what I need
- to learn how to do it myself? Please respond if you're going to do something
- so I don't need to ask on every network I find.

- PS - I'm really just looking for this program so I can use it for myself and
- maybe some friends. It would probably be a highly sought after program, though
- .
