SCREEN<br />

SAVER<br />

Give your Monitor/TV.<br />

Screen a rest with<br />

Screen Saver<br />

By G. Gomu<br />

system remain switched on<br />

H and unattended during a programming<br />

o session? Probably long<br />

enough w to gradually wear down the<br />

C.R.T. l (Cathode Ray Tube) in your<br />

monitor.<br />

o<br />

n<br />

During all this time the poor CRT<br />

is getting sunburnt by the electron gun!<br />

One g solution is to switch off the<br />

monitor d during such intervals. This is<br />

not o recommended due to the current<br />

surges e occuring at each switching on<br />

or s off which could corrupt your<br />

program.<br />

y<br />

Here is a "soft" solution. It is a<br />

simple<br />

o<br />

interrupt driven routine devised<br />

to u limit the damage. It will "black" the<br />

screen r if the keyboard is ignored for<br />

about c one minute.<br />

o<br />

How m It Works<br />

p<br />

Every u lisoth of a second the program<br />

checks<br />

t<br />

if a key has been pressed. If<br />

e<br />

not, it decrements a counter, ii the<br />

counter has run down to zero then it<br />

saves the border colour, sets it to black,<br />

and "switches off" the screen. This is<br />

done by turning off bit 4 location<br />

SD011 (53265), which changes the<br />

whole screen to the border colour.<br />

The next time a key is pressed, the<br />

same bit is turned back on, which<br />

restores the screen. The saved value<br />

of the border colour is restored too,<br />

and the counter is reset to its starting<br />

value, calculated for a delay of approximately<br />

one minute.<br />

The routine occupies memory from<br />

SCFAA (53162) to SUFF<br />

. (53247).<br />

To Use It<br />

Type in Screen Saver, and save it<br />

before attempting to run it because it<br />

will destroy itself once the machine<br />

code is poked in memory.<br />

Before starting programming, or<br />

loading a program, load "screen saver"<br />

and run it. There is one little drawback,<br />

the border colour can't be changed<br />

once the routine is operating. Also<br />

note that "Screen Saver" will not work<br />

with any program which changes the<br />

interrupt vector at $0314. Pressing<br />

RUN-STOP/RESTORE will disable<br />

the routine. To restart: SYS 53162.<br />
