Flurry32 - Win32 Port of Flurry
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a port of Calum Robinson's Flurry Screen Saver to Win32. The goal is to provide a Windows version of this screensaver for those of us without a Mac.


REQUIREMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't really tested this on a wide variety of platforms.  Try it and if it appears jittery, then you probably don't have what it takes.  It also require OpenGL, and I think this comes with most Windows installation lately, but I'm not too sure about Windows 95.

See http://www.microsoft.com/ for more details about OpenGL on Windows.


INSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy the Flurry32.scr file into the correct directory according to your Windows OS version:

Windows 95:   C:\Windows
Windows 98:   C:\Windows\System or C:\Windows 
Windows 2000: C:\WINNT\System32 
Windows XP:   C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 


UNINSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete the Flurry32.scr file.
