I downloaded it and moved it with Font/DA Mover into a system file
on a ram disk (Assimilation Process).  Worked fine, and it's just what
is needed (a screen saver that triggers automatically after no activity
for a while, but does not leave the screen completely black).

So then I moved it into a system file on a real disk, and rebooted to
see if it still worked.

	Sad Mac!

Booting from another disk, I tried to remove Fade To Black from the system
file but Font/DA Mover wouldn't open it.

My guess is that there is some problem of interaction between INIT's,
since Fade worked fine from the ram disk system (which does not become
available until all INIT's are already executed).

Anybody else get it to work with AP ram disk?
