Okay, I have two questions:  
1) I just downloaded SCRNSAV2.ARC.2 from SIMTEL20, and then transferred it to
my machine.  It's an HP Vectra QS/20, which is a 386 clone.  I have a VGA card,
and DOS 3.3.  When I unARChive it, it's fine.  I run SCRNSAV2.COM, and it 
seems to load perfectly.  (No error messages)  The only problem is, it never
blanks my screen!  It seems to do nothing.  I figured that if it wouldn't
work, my system would freeze.  Nope.  So what's wrong?

2) I also got SHEZ54.ZIP, which should be some archive utilities, right?  My
PKUNZIP says Warning!  I don't know what to do with *.* .  That is, it gives
me this message for every file in the archive, and doesn't unZIP anything. 
Do I need a new PKUNZIP?  

Okay, a third bonus question:
3) My system (see above) has 1 meg RAM.  I do not have Windows 386.  It seems
like I'm really only getting about 640 (700 tops)K of that meg usable.  Is
there anything I can do about this? 

Thanks for all the help, post or email is fine
