[ros-dev] screensavers

[Richard Campbell]

I believe screensavers are nothing more than exe files that respond to 
different switches.  IIRC there is nothing else different about a 
screensaver.  If you'd like the source, i might be able to dig it up. 
That being said, it's been YEARS (Windows 95 anyone? :P) since i've done 
it, so if i am mistaken, i apologize.
