	1. Description
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   The HellFire-2000 Screen Saver puts on an impressive show of smoothly animated, 
photorealistic fire effects overlaid on a dimmed-out version of your desktop. 
It accomplishes this without the use of any 3D or 2D accelerators. You'll see 
burning flames, heat distortion, fireworks, and sparkles. High-quality stereo 
sound effects add to the realism. Several adjustable settings are provided: 
Set the video mode, fireworks count, minimum and maximum explosion size, 
number of sparkles, and the amount of fireballs. You can also mute the sound, 
not show the desktop as a background, and get a live preview as you're making 
adjustments.
