Geochron screen saver

Hi All

Years ago I used to have a cool free screensaver that would show which areas of the planet were sunlit and which aren't.

Also showed the position of the Sun and the Moon. Looked like this:

Can seem to find it again. Can anyone point me in the direction of a free saver that performs this function?

thx

Erg

Down the bottom of this page is a download to a screensaver component.

I remember that! Used to have it way back when and lost it on the death of an old, old drive
I just grabbed it again :-)

Cheers - Trev

Just installed it and laughed when I realised it's sized for old screen resolutions . Still going to running it, but it is small on a 1920x1080 monitor -

I'm sure someone clever enough can fix the resolution, just need someone with C experience as the source code is offered.
