Frequently Asked Question

What is a .zip file?
To unzip a .ZIP file, you will need
an archive utility program like WinZip. Please visit WinZip's home page.
What if the file ends with
.exe?
Any files that ends with an
extension of .EXE, is a self extracting file, you do not need an unzip program to extract
it. To start the self extracting process after downloading a file, copy or move the .EXE
file to an empty directory and double click on its filename and it will automatically
extract its files into the same directory.
How do I install screen
savers?
Usually the installation
instructions will accompany the downloaded file itself in the form of a .TXT, .DOC, .WRI
format. Refer to that file on how to install the screen saver(s). If there is no
accompanying instructions, and there is either a SETUP.EXE or INSTALL.EXE, run that file
to start the installation process. If the downloaded file only contains file(s) ending
with .SCR, just copy all files ending with .SCR to your Windows\System directory.
What is Shareware?
Shareware is try-before-you-buy
software. It is created by nice people who put it out into the world for you to try, with
a note attached (actually it's a file) asking you to please send the author a small fee if
you continuously use the program after its specified trial period by registering. The
registration fee is usually only a few £'s. If you do register the program, the author
may send you the latest version or maybe even a printed manual. It is so nice of these
people to do this that we really should support them by sending their minimal fees. And
believe me, there is a lot of work involved in creating any type of software.
What is Freeware?
Freeware is software made available
for public use by the generous author, and it's free. You're not under any obligation to
pay for it, but the author retains the copyright of the software.
What is Public Domain?
Public domain is also free software
made available to the public by the author, by contrast, is given over in its entirety to
the public domain with no strings attached.
What are VBRUNxxx.DLL
files?
Any program that was written in Visual Basic(high level
programming language) will require its runtime library, which is a dynamic link library,
in order to run.
Will Win 3.x screen savers
run under Win95?
Yes, it should. If it doesn't work
properly, it's the source code that was written improperly.
