SCREEN SAVER
The screen saver runs if there is not mouse and keyboard activity in the time
that is selected in the configuration.
You can quit the screen saver moving or clicking the mouse, or entering a key
from the keyboard.
In the configuration window, you can enable/disable the screen saver, enter a
new time and change the text that is displayed on the screen.
TEMPORARY DRIVE
The QUIJOTE temporary files will be created in the drive defined as temporary
with SETDEF.COM.
If there is not temporary drive defined, default drive (current) will be used
instead.
TO DO
I am working in the following features, or I am thinking on it:
-
Fully browsing.
-
Printing support.
-
Option to convert html file to ascii file.
-
More SCREEN SAVERS.
-
Friendly html file selection.
-
More user configuration options: temporary drive, etc.
-
Integrated help.
