- README for dimBlack.tar.Z package:
-
- The black.pft file is from a comp.sys.next post made by James E. Burns
- on December 4, 1990. This file also reportedly appears in NUJ11.
- The black2.pft file is the black.pft file with a one line addition
- by Glenn Reid that allows it to work correctly under Release 2.0
- (note that black.pft won't work under 2.0 and black2.pft won't work
- under 1.0).
-
- dim.c and the "black" script were written by John Garnett - 02/23/91.
-
- In order to use this script, you will first need to modify it to reflect the
- full path name of black.pft (this depends of course upon which directory
- you use to store black.pft). Be sure to use black2.pft instead if you
- have Release 2.0.
-
- Type "make" to compile dim.c. Store both the resulting executable "dim" and
- the "black" script in one of the directories in your path environment variable.
- I have included a binary, dim2.0, for those who have the 2.0 standard
- release. Just rename dim2.0 to dim and you should be all set.
-
- To use this script, just type "black" at the command line. The screen will
- dim and then a black window will cover the screen. Type control-D to
- return to normal.
-
- Note that as is, this script is really only useful to those people who
- have NeXTs at home or in their offices or other places where its okay
- to stay logged in while away.
-
- For more information, type "man evs" and "man pft".
