Ant's UFO Screen Saver ReadMe
=============================

This screen saver consists of just one file - UFOs.scr. 
To install, copy the file to your Windows directory then select it 
from the list of savers in the Desktop Properties dialog under the 
Screen Saver tab.

You will get a mini preview in the Preview window, but this will only 
show UFOs of the Gerry Anderson type regardless of the types
selected in the configuration dialog. This is not a bug, so don't report it!

You need to be running in at least 256 colour (8-bit) mode, but if you wish to
use the 'desktop' background you'll get better results in 16 or 24 bit colour.
However, performance will be relatively worse in these modes due to the larger
amount of data to be shifted for each frame. Sorry.

To uninstall, simply delete the .scr file again. You can also remove the registy
entry under..

My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AntWare\UFO Screen Saver

	..if you are happy using RegEdit and want to remove every last trace. 

That's all there is to it.

Known Problems
==============
If the saver fails to run, a logfile called UFOS.log is created in the same 
directory as the saver was run from detailing what it was that failed. Please
send a copy of this file if you are emailing me with a problem.


Revision History
================

1.4 - 	First 'Global' release
2.0 - 	Rewritten to use Direct X version 5 - this version (or greater)
	must be installed on your system. 
2.1 - 	Fixed a bug where the stars would appear but few or no UFOs - this was due to
	the h/w capabilities of certain graphics cards. Added problem log support.
2.2 - 	Whoops! In my haste I broke the Desktop Properties "demo" window mode. Fixed
	that and stopped it always writing out the log fille too.
2.2.1.0 - Added clickable email and web site addresses on the About box. Also increased
	the amount of debug info written to log file on failure.
2.3.0.0	- Rationalised the configuration dialogs a bit.
2.3.1.0 - Rebuilt with VC 6.0. Also tried to fix the screen clear on exit problem.
2.3.2.0 - Really fixed the screen clear problen this time!
