I know what Lockup is (never had any use for it myslef), but I'm
unaware
of any screensaver built into OS/2, like you may be accustomed to for
Win.

It happens there are at least 3 third-party screensavers still kicking
around for
OS/2. My favorite is the no longer supported but now Freeware
WIPEOUT,
which should be available a number of places like Hobbes. Let me know
if
you have any trouble finding it. The other leading contender was
ESCAPE GL,
which I think had 3D effects, and is not free.
