Long After Dark 1.4.2

What's new in 1.4.2

Star Trek: The Next Generation Screen Saver. Berkeley Systems' 1994 After Dark release is the fifteenth Long After Dark runs, for 327 modules in all. Its 13 modules are Data Dances, Encounters, Nanites, Officer's Review, Personnel Files, Starbase, Science Stations, Tachyon Particle Field, The Borg, Starfleet Messages, Counselor Troi, Warp Effect and Worf's Weapons, with their sounds and music. Officer's Review is a quiz: press Caps Lock to take it. Starfleet Messages can show a message of your own on the Enterprise's plaque, a Starfleet terminal or a Romulan screen: set Text to Custom and type it in with Edit Custom.... Like Star Trek: The Screen Saver, its modules get a 640×480 screen of their own, scaled to fit (or stretched, with Stretch to fit the screen).

Importing it. The importer can download it from the Internet Archive (a 5.8 MB CD image), or copy it from your own CD or an image of it. Every import is checked file by file against the original release.

Fifteen covers. The settings window now opens with three rows of five covers, so every release still shows at once.

For Windows: LongAfterDark-1.4.2-x64.zip holds the three programs. Unzip it anywhere and keep them together; README.txt inside says what to do next. The programs are not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn before running them.
