Unlike most other DOS screen savers, Screen Scenes does something fun when it blanks the screen. Screen Scenes provides 29 (16 if you don't have a VGA system) different scenes for your enjoyment. The wide range of scenes includes a kaleidoscope, an aquarium full of Crazy Fish, the long-awaited hopping frog scene and a set of wild 256-color palette-animated fractals! Screen Scenes v3.4 is easy to control and customize. Each scene can be enabled, disabled or demonstrated individually. The length of time to delay before popping up can be set to between 1 and 60 minutes. All the scenes can be password protected, preventing unauthorized use of your PC. You can leave multi-line messages on the screen or hit the "instant- on" key if the boss walks by at an inconvenient time. Screen Scenes looks at the keyboard, mouse and printer to decide when it should pop up. This means that it will not pop up when you are entering data or printing. 1.1 NEW FEATURES The following new features have been added to Desert Frog Screen Scenes since version 3.0. 1) Microsoft Windows detection. Prevents interference with Windows by not popping up when Windows is active. 2) Super VGA mode blanking. Screen Scenes now detects when the system is in a Super VGA mode and blanks the screen. Password protection is not active when the screen is blanked, but the video display is restored properly. 3) Improved display handling. Screen Scenes v3.4 corrects many minor screen-handling problems that appeared in earlier versions. It will correctly handle custom fonts that other screen savers can't! 4) Corrected printer handling. A bug fix ensures that print jobs will not be interrupted. 5) VGA video forcing. The user can force Screen Scenes to run in VGA mode. Screen Scenes cannot always detect that you have a VGA video system. Using this command line option forces Screen Scenes to run in VGA. DO NOT use this command if you do not have a VGA video system. 6) A better value. Now when you register Screen Scenes you receive 20 additional fractal scenes at no additional charge. 2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Desert Frog Screen Scenes for DOS v3.4 requires a hard disk and a color CGA, EGA or VGA video card and monitor. Grayscale VGA monitors are also supported. Expanded memory is recommended but not required. The program works with DOS versions 2.0 to 6.2 and is compatible with Microsoft and Logitech mice. OS/2 and Geoworks are NOT supported (see below for coexistence with unsupported programs). Screen Scenes requires 420K of available RAM during installation and removal from memory. Screen Scenes also requires 1,750K of space on your hard disk or 1,000K on your hard disk and 830K available EMS memory. Screen Scenes occupies less than 7K of RAM when waiting to pop up. 3.0 INSTALLATION Screen Scenes is easy to install. Copy the file SS34D.EXE from the distribution disk onto your hard disk. Once SS34D.EXE is copied to the hard disk, log into the directory containing it and run SS34D. SS34D.EXE is actually a self- extracting archive created using LHA.EXE v2.13, a freeware archiving package. When you run SS34D it extracts all the files which make up Screen Scenes. Once you have run SS34D.EXE you can delete it from your hard disk. The following set of commands creates a directory called DFSS on the C: drive, copies SS34D.EXE into this directory from the distribution disk in the A: drive, extracts all the Screen Scenes files and deletes SS34D.EXE from the C:\DFSS directory: C: MD DFSS CD DFSS COPY A:\SS34D.EXE SS34D DEL SS34D.EXE The Screen Scenes program itself is called SCRSCENE.EXE. To run it enter the path and file name as shown below (assuming that Screen Scenes is installed in a directory called DFSS on your C: drive): C:\DFSS\SCRSCENE Using the full path as shown above guarantees that Screen Scenes can find it's files when trying to pop up. 3.1 ADDING SCREEN SCENES TO YOUR AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE The best way to use Screen Scenes is to add it to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This file is basically a list of commands that are performed each time you turn on your PC. By adding Screen Scenes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you will save yourself from having to run it manually. Screen Scenes should be loaded after any network drivers or communication programs or other programs that receive real- time messages. Screen Scenes should also be loaded after multitasking software like DesqView or OmniView. Finally, Screen Scenes should be loaded before any DOS Shell or menu programs. As an example, assume you have installed Screen Scenes in the C:\DFSS directory. You would then add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: C:\DFSS\SCRSCENE Do NOT add this line to your PATH statement. It should be a separate line. Using the full path as shown above guarantees that Screen Scenes can find it's files when trying to pop up. The next time you reboot or power up the system, Screen Scenes will be automatically loaded and ready to save your screen. 4.0 USING SCREEN SCENES FOR DOS v3.4 Screen Scenes has a wealth of options, allowing you to customize the program for your system and personal style. When you run the program, you can set one or more command line options. Once the program is installed in memory, you can use the menu system or the hotkeys to further control the operation of the program. You can also just run the program without using any of the options. In the vast majority of cases everything will work perfectly without any further effort on your part. 4.1 COMMAND LINE OPTIONS Screen Scenes can accept various commands when it is run from the DOS prompt. There are two types of command line options. One type controls how Screen Scenes configures itself. This type is entered when Screen Scenes is first run, and the configurations they set do not change while the program is in memory. The other type commands Screen Scenes to do something now. These only work when Screen Scenes is already active. The following are command line options. They are entered like this: SCRSCENE /D /S C:\DFSS. This set of options tells Screen Scenes to always swap to the disk and to put its swap files in the DFSS directory on the C: drive. The command line options are: /D force disk swapping. Allows you to prevent Screen Scenes from using expanded memory. You would want to choose this option if you need to reserve the expanded memory for another program, or if you have an extended memory RAM disk that you would like to use for the Screen Scenes swap files. /G go to sleep. Allows the user to prevent Screen Scenes from popping up automatically. It is no longer necessary to use this command when running your telecommunication software. Also useful if Screen Scenes causes problems when popping up over a particular program. Use this command line option when Screen Scenes is already active. /H hexkey specify TSR hotkey in hexadecimal notation. It is possible that one of the programs you use may itself use the default <ALT><.> hotkey for something. If that is the case you will want to change the hotkey which activates Screen Scenes to something other than <ALT><.>. This option allows you to do so. Two alternate hotkeys are: <ALT><LeftShift><Z> (enter A2C as the hexkey) and <ALT><TAB> (enter 80F as the hexkey). See section 4.2.1 CREATING CUSTOM HOTKEYS for instructions on creating hotkeys other than those shown above. /M disable swapping messages. Screen Scenes normally displays a message when swapping itself to and from the hard disk. If you don't want the message displayed, select this option. /N no mouse detection before popping up. The Screen Scenes mouse motion detection routine may conflict with some programs. Use this option to disable the mouse detection in case of conflicts. /S path specify drive and directory for swap files. When swapping itself to the disk, Screen Scenes normally puts it's swap files in the C:\ directory. If you want them stored somewhere else, use this option to enter the drive and directory to use. Use this command to change the drive to one that has more space if you see a message like "Swap path invalid or insufficient swap space" when you run SCRSCENE.EXE. /U unload Screen Scenes. Removes Screen Scenes from memory. This will not be possible if another TSR program has been loaded after Screen Scenes. Screen Scenes will provide a message on the screen telling whether or not it was successfully unloaded. Use this command line option when Screen Scenes is already active. /V force VGA graphics. On some systems Screen Scenes has trouble detecting that the video card is VGA compatible. Use this command line option to force the use of VGA mode, regardless of what video card the program thinks you have. Use this option when you first run Screen Scenes (put it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file). If you do not have a VGA system, DO NOT use this command. /W wake up. Reactivates the Screen Scenes automatic pop-up code. Use this command when the program is asleep and you are ready for it to resume it's automatic function. Use this command line option when Screen Scenes is already active. /? show these command line options. Use this command line option when Screen Scenes is already active. 4.2 HOTKEYS Hotkeys are commands to Screen Scenes that can be used at any time, including while another program is running! Each hotkey is actually a pair of keys depressed simultaneously. Hotkeys are shown like this in the descriptions that follow: <ALT><.> This means to depress the ALT and the . keys simultaneously. It is called the Alt-Period hotkey. <ALT><,> Alt-Comma is the "Instant-on" hotkey. When pressed, this hotkey tells Screen Scenes to immediately display a scene. If Screen Scenes is swapping to disk it will actually take several seconds for the scene to appear. If Screen Scenes is popping up over a graphics-mode program there will be an additional delay while Screen Scenes stores the contents of video RAM on the hard disk. The advantage of using this hotkey is that it lets you bypass the menu system if you just need a scene on the screen right now. Alt-Comma is not active when the Main Menu is active, a scene is visible on the screen, or for several seconds after a scene has been deactivated. <ALT><.> Alt-Period activates the Main Menu. For details about the use of the Main Menu see section 4.3. Alt-Period is not active when the Main Menu is already visible or when a scene is visible on the screen. <ALT><;> Alt-Semicolon tells Screen Scenes to go to sleep. This hotkey is useful when you don't want Screen Scenes to pop up automatically. It is no longer necessary to use this hotkey during telecommunication sessions. It is also useful if Screen Scenes causes problems when popping up over a particular program. For situations where you know you will always want Screen Scenes to sleep, you are better off using the command line switches in a batch file as described in section 4.1. <ALT><'> Alt-Single Quote tells Screen Scenes to wake up. This hotkey reactivates the Screen Scenes automatic pop-up code. Use this command when the program is asleep and you are ready for it to resume it's automatic function. There is an equivalent command line switch that can be used in a batch file (see section 4.1). 4.2.1 CREATING CUSTOM HOTKEYS A hotkey is a combination of a normal key and one of the special keys left shift, right shift, control or alt. These keys are pressed simultaneously and signal Screen Scenes to do something. Hotkeys can be used at any time that Screen Scenes is installed in memory, regardless of what program is active. This can lead to conflicts between Screen Scenes and the active program when both use a particular key combination. Custom hotkeys can be defined to use in place of the <ALT><.> hotkey normally used by Screen Scenes to pop up the main menu. Two alternate hotkeys are <ALT><LeftShift><Z> and <ALT><TAB>. The hotkey is changed using the /H command line option (see section 4.1 COMMAND LINE OPTIONS for details on using this option). If you want or need to create a custom hotkey different from those shown above, you need to follow the procedure detailed below. This procedure creates a custom hexcode: First, determine which special key you will use. The first character of your new hexcode is determined by the special keys as follows: Special Key Code <LeftShift> 2 <RightShift> 1 <ALT> 8 <CTRL> 4 Second, determine the alphanumeric key you will use. The second and third characters of the new hexcode are determined by the key you choose. The table below shows some normal keys and their codes. Key Code Key Code Key Code <1> 02 <2> 03 <3> 04 <4> 05 <5> 06 <6> 07 <7> 08 <8> 09 <9> 0A <0> 0B <A> 1E <B> 30 <C> 2E <D> 20 <E> 12 <F> 21 <G> 22 <H> 23 <I> 17 <J> 24 <K> 25 <L> 26 <M> 32 <N> 31 <O> 18 <P> 19 <Q> 10 <R> 13 <S> 1F <T> 14 <U> 16 <V> 2F <W> 11 <X> 2D <Y> 15 <Z> 2C Third, combine the codes generated in the first two steps to create a new hexcode. For example, suppose you choose the key combination of <CTRL><N> as your new hotkey. Using the tables above you would determine that the new hexcode to use to make the hotkey <CTRL><N> is 431. Other custom hotkeys are determined similarly. 4.3 MENU OPTIONS The Screen Scenes main menu can be activated by pressing <ALT><.> (Alt-Period) once Screen Scenes is installed. The menu provides information about the program and allows the user to configure the program to his or her taste. The main menu is also the place to create a message to leave on the screen. The menu options are: About - Provides information about this version of Screen Scenes as well as information about other Desert Frog Software products. This screen also acknowledges the Stone Soup Group, authors of the program FRACTINT. FRACTINT was used to generate all the fractal scenes. Press a key to exit this screen. Exit - Exit the main menu. Returns you to the DOS prompt or to whatever program was running when you hit <ALT><.>. Configure - Allows the user to modify the operation of Screen Scenes. Sets the number of minutes to delay before popping up, enables/disables the main menu sound effects, enables/disables password protection (see Password below) and enables/disables borders on those scenes which support them. Press <CTRL><ENTER> when done modifying these parameters. To move the highlight down the list press ENTER, the Down arrow, TAB or Page Down. To move up the list press the Up Arrow, Shift TAB or Page Up. Note that the mouse is not enabled when the configure screen is active. Select Scenes - Provides a scrolling list of the available scenes. Scenes are enabled (eligible to pop up) when there is a check mark to the left of the scene name. The currently selected scene is highlighted. The currently selected scene can be enabled, disabled or demonstrated. When a demonstration is being run, the screen will appear exactly the way it would if the scene were popped up. Moving the mouse or pressing a key ends the demonstration. A list of currently enabled scenes is saved whenever you exit the scene list. Keyboard Control - To move the highlight down through the list you can use the Down Arrow, Right Arrow or Page Down keys. To move the highlight up through the list use the Up Arrow, Right Arrow or Page Up keys. Pressing the Space Bar toggles the highlighted scene between the enabled and disabled states. To run a demonstration of the highlighted scene press the Enter key. Press any key to exit the demonstration. Press the Escape key to exit the scene list and return to the Main Menu. Mouse Control - To highlight a scene move the mouse cursor (a red block with a white triangle in it) over the name of the scene you wish to highlight and click the left mouse button. To enable or disable the highlighted scene, click the left mouse button while the mouse cursor is on the highlighted scene name. Repeated clicking of the left button toggles the highlighted scene between enabled and disabled. To view a demonstration of a scene, highlight the scene name then click the right mouse button. To end the demonstration move the mouse or click either mouse button. Along the right-hand side of the scene list is a vertical bar with an arrow facing up at the top of the bar and one facing down at the bottom. This is the scroll bar. To move the highlight down through the scene list place the mouse cursor over the downward facing arrow on the scroll bar and click the left mouse button. Repeated clicking will move the highlight to the end of the visible list of scenes and will scroll the list to display scene names that are not currently visible. To move the highlight up through the scene list place the mouse cursor over the upward facing arrow on the scroll bar and click the left mouse button. Repeated clicking will move the highlight to the top of the visible list of scenes and will scroll the list to display scene names that are not currently visible. It is also possible to move through the list by placing the mouse cursor on the scroll bar itself and clicking the left button. If you place the mouse cursor at the top of the scroll bar and click, the highlight will be moved to the top of the list of scenes. If you place the mouse cursor at the bottom of the scroll bar and click, the highlight will be moved to the end of the list of scenes. If you place the mouse cursor in the middle of the scroll bar and click, the highlight will be moved to the middle of the list of scenes. Note that the scroll bar represents the entire list of scenes and not just those that are visible at the moment. Password - Allows the user to enter a password for use with all the scenes. When password protection is enabled (see Configuration above) and a scene is active, the PC will remain locked with the scene active until the proper password is entered or the PC is turned off or otherwise rebooted. When typing your password, the characters you type will be replaced by asterisks (*) on the screen so that no one can see what you have typed. When finished entering the password, press Control-Enter <CTRL><ENTER>. You will then be asked to reenter the password to confirm it. The password must be 20 characters or less. Your password is encrypted and saved with the other configuration data when you exit the password screen. It is not necessary to enter your password every time you turn on the computer, the password you select remains in force until you enter a new one. Leave a Message - Allows you to leave a message on the screen containing up to 5 lines of 35 characters. Just type your message into the space provided on the message screen. Most editing keys (Arrows, Insert, Delete, etc.) are functional but automatic word-wrap is not provided. Each line of the message is automatically centered. Password protection is active for messages if it has been selected on the configuration screen. 5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Desert Frog Screen Scenes v3.4 for DOS is a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program. MS-DOS was not designed as a multitasking environment, so there is always a chance of conflicts between the resident program and the normal application running at the time. Try the suggestions listed here if you have a conflict between Screen Scenes and another program. Problem: Screen Scenes pops up when I am running program X and messes it up. Solution: Use the /G command line option to make Screen Scenes go to sleep before running the program and use the /W command line option to wake it up again once you are done. A batch file that implements this fix for a program called ELMER might look like this (if Screen Scenes is in the C:\DFSS directory): C:\DFSS\SCRSCENE /G ELMER C:\DFSS\SCRSCENE /W Problem: Program X uses the same hotkey as Screen Scenes. Solution: Use the /H command line option to set a different primary hotkey for Screen Scenes. Problem: Screen Scenes won't pop up unless I am logged into the directory it is installed in. Solution: On some systems Screen Scenes has trouble determining the full path by itself. First, unload Screen Scenes from memory using the /U command line option. Try running it again using the full path name. For example if Screen Scenes is stored on the C: drive in a directory called DFSS, run the program by entering C:\DFSS\SCRSCENE. If the program works correctly, you can use the full path name in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as well. Problem: My mouse behaves funny when I run program X with Screen Scenes installed. Solution: Use the /N command line option to tell Screen Scenes not to check the mouse before popping up. With this option selected, Screen Scenes will pop up if all you are using is the mouse, but it will immediately stop execution when you next move the mouse. Problem: Screen Scenes pops up when I'm doing very long recalculations with my spreadsheet. Solution: Put Screen Scenes to sleep using the <ALT><;> hotkey for very long recalculations. Problem: Program X runs a lot slower than it used to. Solution: Program X was probably using expanded memory for data or overlay storage and now Screen Scenes is using that memory. Run Screen Scenes with the /D command line option to force it to use disk space for storing it's overlays instead of using the expanded memory. Problem: I get a message like "Swap path invalid or insufficient swap space" when I try to run Screen Scenes. Solution: A message like this means one of two things. The first possibility is that you do not have a C: drive. When Screen Scenes needs to store it's swap files, it tries to store them in the C:\ directory. In this case you need to specify another drive using the /S command line option. The second possibility is that your C: drive does not have enough memory to hold the Screen Scenes swap files. Screen Scenes requires as much as 1750K of hard disk space to hold all it's files. Delete some old files from your hard disk or use the /S command line option to specify a different drive to hold the swap files. Problem: Screen Scenes works fine with all my programs except program X, which uses a DOS extender. If it pops up when program X is running, the system crashes. Solution: Screen Scenes is incompatible with some DOS extenders, in particular the one from Phar Lap. Either activate this program with a batch file that puts Screen Scenes to sleep or manually put it to sleep before activating program X. Problem: When Screen Scenes pops up over program X, which is a graphics mode program, the screen doesn't get restored properly after Screen Scenes is done. Solution: Screen Scenes needs up to 195K of hard disk space to store the contents of the video card's memory when popping up over graphics mode programs. If there isn't enough hard disk space to store this information, the screen will not be restored properly. Provide some additional space on the hard disk for Screen Scenes to store this information. It is also possible that program X is using a non-standard video mode which Screen Scenes does not recognize. Try running program X in a different video mode or put Screen Scenes to sleep when running program X. Problem: I can't get Screen Scenes to run on my machine, but SideKick works fine. Solution: SideKick can cause problems for other TSRs. Screen Scenes tries to neutralize the problems but is not always able to do so. When it cannot, it won't load after SideKick. To resolve this problem you can try loading Screen Scenes into memory before SideKick. This may work fine. Screen Scenes should work just fine with SideKickPlus. 6.0 THE SCENES OF SCREEN SCENES v3.4 The following three tables contain the names of the scenes and short descriptions of them. The first table contains the scenes which will run on any supported video system (CGA, EGA or VGA color systems). The second table contains normal scenes that will only run on VGA systems. The third table contains the fractals. The fractals were generated using FRACTINT, a program by the Stone Soup Group. A VGA system is required to run the fractal scenes. NOTE: The registered version of Screen Scenes provides 20 additional fractal scenes. See section 12.0 REGISTRATION AND SITE LICENSES for details. Table 1: Scenes which run on CGA, EGA or VGA Blocks - Fills the screen with colored blocks in up to 640x480 resolution. Patchwork - Colored trails fill the screen leaving an ever-changing assortment of random patterns. K - A large QIX-like creature roams the screen. K cycles through the range of colors supported by your particular video system. Melt Away - Your text melts down the screen and disappears. Circles 1 - The original Circles scene from Screen Scenes v2.X. Fills the screen with colorful circles in up to 640x480 resolution. Circles 2 - Fills the screen with colorful circles nested within other circles. Circles 3 - A stream of multicolored circles bounces around the screen yielding a 3-D effect. The Spiral - Radiating lines spiral into and out of the center of the screen, repainting the pattern as they go. Box Bounce - A creature made up of hollow boxes careens madly about the screen. Digital Clock - A moving display of the current time. Fission - Your text explodes character by character. Lines - 2 QIX-like creatures dash around the screen, changing colors as they go. Triangles - Fills the screen with colorful triangles in up to 640x480 resolution. Beams - Colored beams randomly streak out from a central point. Suddenly the screen blanks and it starts anew from another location. MC Escher - A continually changing geometric pattern that is reminiscent of an Escher print. X-It - Look for the pattern that is eventually created. Table 2: Scenes which require VGA Kaleidoscope - Creates ever changing kaleidoscopic patterns. Ladybugs - You can honestly tell people your system is buggy when you run this scene. Crazy Fish - Our version of an aquarium. It is populated with fish the likes of which no one has ever seen. Desert Frogs - Watch our namesake catch her dinner while changing her colors like a chameleon. Table 3: Fractals No specific description is given for these scenes. Their names are just what they reminded us of when we saw them in action. Python Whirlpool Starburst Paisley Spider Web Chainlink Plasma Galaxy Petals 7.0 CHANGES SINCE v3.0 o No longer interferes with Microsoft Windows o Blanks SVGA video and restores the screen correctly o Improved screen handling lets Screen Scenes restore screens that other programs can't o Corrected printer detection ensures that print jobs are not interrupted o Allows you to force VGA video mode o 20 additional fractal scenes free when you register 8.0 HOW TO CONTACT US There are three good ways to contact Desert Frog Software.
