XMasMan
© Remco de Korte - 2000/2001

version 1.2

Short Info
----------

The SuperHero from SuperSaver returns in
disguise in this cosy XMas screensaver,
popping up from a forest of Xmas trees.

As far as I know XMasMan runs on all
32 bit Windows versions for PC (Win95
or better).

You need to have a soundcard with midi
to hear any sound and at least 8 Mb of 
free memory.

Your screen has to be set at hi- or true 
colour but the saver will look at its best
in true colour.

XMasMan.exe will install the screensaver
to a directory of your choice. Run this
program again to uninstall the saver.


Options
-------

You can change the 'snow-factor' of
the trees:
- no show: they're free from snow
- snowy: the trees are covered with snow
- falling snow: the trees gradually get
  covered with snow
The first two choices result in a static
image, the last will change the image 
slowly until the trees are covered.

The saver can run silent, with no sound 
or it can play a selection of Xmas tunes.
You can pick the songs from the songlist.
You can check as many songs as you like.
The screensaver will play the selected
tunes in a random order.

--------

I collected the tunes from several places 
on the internet. I tried to avoid files 
which were copyrighted. If I accidentally
included a song that I shouldn't have 
please let me know.

The graphics for this screensaver were made 
with the freeware raytracer POV-Ray

The installer was made by Brian Anderson.
