 Phantastic Screensaver            by Richard Fellner, Vienna
***************************************************************

Hi, thanks for downloading the Phantastic Screensaver !  

The  Phantastic  Screensaver  is  a  compilation  of  3  nice
screensaver-types I liked most during the last years,
so I started programming them in *BORLAND DELPHI*  by myself.
You'll find 
- Moving pictures (highly configurable, currently supports
  .BMP images (and .GIF images in the registered version).
- a Fader (wipes out the screen in 4 directions).
- a Fractal Painter (registered version only).
- a "Rain simulator"
- a Screen Blender (smoothing between 2 selectable colors)

I welcome any feedback you may wish to provide that will help
me to make the  Phantastic Screensaver  a truly  entertaining
product.  You can  contact me  through the  internet  through
my e-mail address r.fellner@xpoint.at or the  FidoNet through
my Point-Address 2:310/102.66. For the last releases check my
homepage which also provides useful stuff about Delphi,
Shiatsu, Music, Psychotherapy, Austria (where I come from)
and tons of useful links:

A great help for finding out and using the (like always:
at important parts commonly undocumented :-((( ) functions
provided by Micro$oft was Meik Weber, visit his homepage
