The Skyrocket screensaver is written for Windows.  It uses OpenGL 
for graphics and requires OpenGL hardware acceleration for optimum 
performance.  If you don't have it, you'll see a very slow framerate.  
OpenAL is used for the sound effects.  You'll need the OpenAL32.dll, 
so I have included it in skyrocket.zip just in case you don't already 
have it.  OpenAL is free software as described by the LGPL, which is 
also included in skyrocket.zip.  More information about OpenGL and 
OpenAL can be obtained at www.opengl.org and www.openal.org, 
respectively.

Skyrocket is freeware, so there is no support available for this saver,
but feel free to send comments and suggestions to me (Terry).  Contact 
information is available on my website:  http://www.reallyslick.com



Installation instructions:

1.  Extract the files from this .zip file using your favorite zip 
program (you should have already gotten that far or you wouldn't be 
reading this).

2.  Place Skyrocket.scr in the directory that contains all your other 
.scr files.  This directory varies between versions of Windows, but 
it's probably something like "Windows/System32/"  

3.  Similarly, you'll need to put OpenAL32.dll in the directory that 
contains all your other .dll files.  If you can't find the correct 
directories, go to the "Start" menu, click on "Search," and perform a 
search for .scr or .dll files.

4.  Open your "Display Properties" window by right-clicking on your 
desktop background.  Click on the "Screen Saver" tab and select this 
saver.
