I have written a screenlock program for the NeXT that worked quite nicely
in OS 0.9. Unfortunately, there is a line of code that I used that no longer
works in 1.0 (this was my fault, it was undocumented and therefore was 
"subject to change"). I know there is a way to accomplish what I need to
but I haven't had the chance to sit down and write the code.

I hope to do this very soon, and will let everyone know when I get it done.
