The archives are available from majordomo@cse.psu.edu or from my web
page (www.cse.psu.edu/~schwartz).  (Indexing is all but nonexistent,
but I'll see if the computer center is willing to aim their search
engine at it.)

About the screen blanker... the bell-labs screensaver works by setting
the colormap to all black.  I prefered to add hooks to /dev/vga (also
in the archives somewhere) so that you can turn off horizontal or
vertical sync (via vgactl), which tells modern monitors to go into
power save mode.  Considering the amount of heat those things put out,
my living room in the summertime really appreciates it.
