Indeed Barry,
I was footnoting the specific problem with Fay's VRPC Adjust-SA.

My VRPC-DL doesn't get uppity when the screen saver kicks in, but there is
a different circumstance when I do get it... Which I obviously try to
avoid.  :-)

But as we know, there's a variety of other ways to get a Ftcps... Shame
something can't be done about it, but from my reading online, there are
often other Win only apps that have the Ftcps problem.
