I wrote a DrDialog based screensaver that displays a slideshow instead of a static image. I think it has many nice features and was always planning to make the final version available on the www.
A collegue wrote the program that tells me when the keyb & mouse are inactive long enough (I don't know C, only REXX, and he has no time anymore for OS/2)
The problem is that this program apparantly not using the right OS/2 hooks: it "sees" some events as mouse activity; OS/2's LOCKUP doesn't "see" this as activity.
So, I'm looking for some nice person that can change this program: I pass it a number of seconds and it returns to me when when there is no activity during that time.
