The LAUNCH! Screen Saver Pak for Windows 3.1
--------------------------------------------




WHAT IS THE LAUCH! SCREEN SAVER PAK?
------------------------------------


With the advent of Windows 3.1, Windows now offers built-in
support for animated, graphical screen savers.  The LAUNCH!
Screen Saver Pak is a package containing three animated
screen savers which can be installed as part of Windows 3.1.

A screen saver is a program that will animate the computer
display after a certain "timeout" period to keep a moving
image on the screen so that the computer screen won't become
burned-in.  "Burn-in" can result from having a computer
screen displaying the same image for long periods of time,
and ruins a monitor necessitating it's replacement.  Screen
burn-in is NOT uncommon.

By installing the LAUNCH! Screen Saver Pak, users can select
from several new screen savers, which each offer a variety
of advanced, entertaining screen animations.  Each of these
screen savers allows the option of setting a custom timeout
value and an optional security password.

These screen savers can be used to save screens, to provide
entertaining animation sequences, and to provide for
password security while away from the computer.
