Vajra Version 2.5 9-01-1996 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Vajra is a screen saver program for Windows. It displays animated colorful 3D geometrical objects. You can choose the number, type, and size of objects you want be displayed. You can also choose to make objects bounce around the screen or to move like in starfield simulation. You can make the objects leave beautiful colorful trail behind their path. You can also display a message that moves across the screen. You can configure Vajra in one of the thousands of possible schemes to please your eyes and to reflect your feelings, mood, and taste. Under certain configurations, Vajra display will be so pleasant that it may help you relax from work pressure and soothe your eyes. The configuration dialog box is reasonably intuitive to make appropriate basic selections without any documentation. However the associated on-line help documents the complete configuration dialog box. This program is distributed as shareware. A shareware program lets you try it before buying it. You can down load this software from various sources such as public domain ftp sites, on-line services, or a shareware CD vendor. The money you pay for the on-line service or the CD is just the fee for their services. They don't pay anything for shareware programmers. I have spent hundreds of hours of personal time designing and developing this program and collecting random Vajra messages. I think it is reasonable to expect a nominal fee for the efforts and time I have put in creating Vajra. After trying the program for 30 days, if you like the program and if you wish to continue to use the program, I expect you to send me $15 to this address: Sudarshan Karkada 10901 Meadowglen Lane, #26 Houston, TX 77042 When I receive your payment, I will send you by e-mail, another list of VAJRA messages which are jokes instead of quotes. (You would see a random joke scrolling across the screen.) Don't forget to mention your e-mail address with your payment. If you prefer that I send the list on a disk by regular mail, please send me $17 and don't forget to mention your postal address. If you can not afford $15, I will gladly accept whatever you can afford even if it is just a feedback postcard/letter. I have tested this program on three different computers with significant differences in the configuration. I found out that the program performs satisfactorily and it did not have any adverse effects on the systems. This program is distributed as is, without any guarantee of its performance. You will use this program at your own risk. The author is not liable for any damages or losses caused by using this program. You are free to distribute this program but you should neither sell this program nor expect any kind of remuneration for the software. Usage: Copy VAJRA20.ZIP into your Windows directory and expand it using PKUNZIP utility. Delete the ZIP file yourself. Setup Vajra screen saver using Control Panel's Desktop option. Vajra shows up as 'Vajra (Gem)' in the Screen Saver group in Desktop dialog box. I intend to add a few features to this program during next few months and I intend to support this program for some time. If you have any suggestions/comments/requests/bug reports, please send me a message at skarkada@aol.com and I will be grateful to you. Thank you very much for down loading this program and considering to examine it.
