I'd like to be able to leave my computer for a few minutes without having to
remember to turn off the monitor or risk burn-in of the screen.  However, my
experience is that most screen blankers hook into INT 9 to detect keystrokes
-- and they don't work with Windows as a result.

Does anyone know of a screen blanker which *does* work with Windows?  If it
matters (it probably does...) I have a Hercules-compatible display -- but
I'd also like to be able to use it on an IBM PS/2-50 VGA and on a Wyse 700
display on an AT386-type machine.

Please mail responses and I'll summarize if there's sufficient interest.

Thanks in advance,
++Brandon
