UltraBlank 2.06 has been released
Well, I've finally gotten around to releasing UltraBlank 2.06 to c.b.a2.
There's a more lengthy description over there, but basically, UltraBlank is a
screen blanker for the Apple //gs which will blank the screen while any
program is running (including ProDOS 8 programs like AppleWorks!) and in any
video mode, while keeping the current program running. Yes, even when using
the Bouncing Ball blanking type.
Check it out, especially if your current screen blanker causes you to loose
charaters in terminal programs :)
It's ShareWare (US$15). And contrary to SOME people's opinions, it does come
with a manual (and always has, although admittedly it's on disk).
Finally, if you actually believe it's not worth the $15 I'm asking for it, then
go ahead and send me whatever YOU think it's worth. I just won't guarantee
you'll be mailed an update (although I have in the past). No one's ever
complained that I'm asking too much in the past, and only one person's ever
sent me less than US$15 to register it (pleading poverty). I personally feel
that what I'm asking for is _very_ fair, considering what I've put into it.
[whine-mode off] Sorry about that; I just had to get that off my chest :)
