Johnny Castaway is the world's first story-telling, screen saver cartoon.  
Sure, there are lots of screen savers out there, but you can only watch 
fish and flying toasters for so long. Cast off with Johnny and sail into 
an ocean  of off-the wall gags and knock-out animations!  Every time you 
take a break, Johnny and his cast launch into hundreds of hilarious situations. 
Will Johnny score with the tantalizing mermaid? Can our desert island hero 
dodge the jaws of a castaway-eating shark? Will that passing party boat 
toss Johnny a line or a lite?  Kick back for a minute and Johnny Castaway 
floats into sight with a story that constantly twists and turns, bringing 
wave after wave of screen-saving surprises to your computer screen.  
Johnny even joins you in celebrating specific times of day and major holidays.  
He'll have you amused for months with fresh, ever-changing adventures. 
So sign up, mate, and take a computer cruise with the Sierra classic screen 
saver!


!!!!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-----------------------------
Since this screen saver is for your enjoyment, and it is FREE to download, 
we will not be providing any technical support for this product. If you have 
any problems, please look at the TROUBLESHOOTING section below.

Windows 3.1 Enhanced Mode	

SUPPORTS:
All Windows Supported Sound Cards

Installing the Screen Saver
-----------------------------
From Program Manager or Explorer, double click 
on the Setup.exe that should be in the same directory as this readme 
file.  

Once you complete the setup you can modify the settings for your 
screen saver.

For Windows 3.1 click on Main, Control Panel, Desktop.
Under the Screen Saver menu choose Screen Antics.

For Windows 95 click on START/SETTINGS/CONTROL PANEL/DISPLAY/Screen Saver
Chose Screen Antics from the list under Screen Saver.

After you are done installing you must restart Windows in order for the screen 
saver to load.


TROUBLESHOOTING
-----------------------------
Doesn't Fill the Entire Screen
Screen Antics uses the 640x480 resolution and does not fill the entire screen 
to begin with. On higher resolution systems, such as with 800x600 or 
1024x768 it will be even smaller.

Insufficient Memory Message
This usually means that a Swap File is not being used, or the Swap File is too small. 
We recommend a Permanent Swap File at LEAST 2 MEG in size, or a Temporary Swap File 
at least 3 MEG in size.
