I appreciate your sharing it with the Macintosh community. It does everything I would want a screen-saver to do. Unfortunately, I have discovered an incompatibility between Fade to Black and one of the applications I use (MacCalc). This problem may very well be in MacCalc, since all other applications seem to run fine. When I am in MacCalc and Fade to Black does its thing, the finder icon (i.e. the "Macintosh" icon) bounces around the screen rather than MacCalc's icon. This is the only application to do this. The real problem, however, is that when I run a large spreadsheet, MacCalc gets an (unspecified) error when re-computing the spreadsheet. I am running system version 6.0.2. Have you had any other problems like this reported to you (either with MacCalc or another application mis-behaving when Fade to Black is running)? I would appreciate any info you could give me. I would really like to run Fade to Black all of the time, but right now, I can't install it unless I know I won't be using MacCalc for a long period of time. Thanks. Btw, the problem also occurs when using version 3.0 of Fade to Black. -- Kevin C. Rushforth | "If winning is not important, Sun Microsystems | then commander, why keep score?" | - Lt.
