hey, perhaps he just didn't want to use turing 4.x? could you think of a reason for that? maybe because you can't use full screen in it. anways, to avoid streaking maybe you could increase the delay time of the loop... and i don't know if you use cls but it might be better to blank it out and redraw. and when you compile choose 'terminate program immediately'.

one last thing. if you're gonna compile a screensaver, you may as well go one step further and save the compiled version as *.scr instead of *.exe
