Screen Peace ver 1.2 fixes a bug in earlier releases:
In prior versions, if you tried to read from a floppy drive,
  and there was no disk in it, the machine would hang whether you
  chose "Retry" or "Cancel".  This was caused by
  "a misplaced floating point call" in the author's words.

The new version doesn't have these problems, and I have been using it
  extensively the last month or so.  I highly recommend it.  Also,
  the problems with finding a directory seem to have gone away.

For those concerned with modem downloads, I have had the screen saver
  running during a 2400 baud download and had no drop in performance.
  I you are concerned, you can turn off all the graphical screen saver
  displays and just have it make the screen black.  This should put little
  drag on your system.

You can define corners of your screen, and if the cursor is in one of
  the regions, the program will either blank the screen right away, or
  never black the screen (depending on the corner).  The corner regions
  have been enlarged to 5x5 pixel areas in version 1.2 (yeah!).

I think screen peace is a great screen saver, and don't like to see
  bad press about bugs without it being mentioned that they have been
  fixed in a newer version.
