Dud, I have the screensaver now (see Susan's post) so no need to post it
again. Thanks for your help.

If you can access that group, use Grabit:

to get the download.

I found a few more news groups with alt.binaries.screensavers but they all
showed only the first item in your post. I eventually found FishSaver2v1_
2.zip at http://encoderx.eu/virtual/ so now I can see which one I like the
best. Cheers.
