DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks files needed to install the Compaq Display 
LiteSaver, a software application that increases the monitor life and 
saves energy.  A user can specify a scheduled time to turn off
the lights on a monitor when it is not being used.  It helps protect the 
monitor against retaining a "burn in" image on the display if the monitor 
is left on for a prolonged period.

The Compaq Display LiteSaver was developed especially for customers such as 
investment houses who want the display to remain visible constantly during 
working hours, with or without keyboard activity, but want the screen blanked 
during specified off-business hours while the computer remains turned on.

The Compaq Display LiteSaver can be set to run during a specified time period.
For example, at 6:00 PM daily, the display is turned off. At 7:00 AM, it is
automatically turned on again. If the OFF Extension is set to 10 minutes, the
Compaq Display LiteSaver can be interrupted, but will turn off the display
again after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Enhancements/Fixes:
 - Major improvement from previous Compaq Display Saver, Version 1.00.
   Instead of using the system's screen saver, Ver 2.00 uses the 
   energy-saving mode to blank the screen, preventing "burn in" and 
   prolonging the life of an LCD monitor back-light.  It also works with
   other monitors.
