What files does the screensaver use and where should they be installed?

Railway Code Library.dll Code library.
Railway Resource Library.dll Graphics and other resources library.

The screensaver and associated libraries can be installed more or less anywhere, with the following conditions.

Railway 32.scr
Default: c:\windows\system or c:\winnt\system32
Can be anywhere, but should be in the above location if is to be listed in control panel dialog.
If in another location it can be installed as the active screensaver by right clicking on the .scr file and selecting "install".

Railway 32.exe
Railway Code Library.dll, Railway Graphics Library.dll,
Railway Narrow.txt, Railway Standard.txt
Default: c:\program files\Railway32
Can be anywhere. Do not need to be in the same place (although this is recommended).

The program will locate the other files automatically (provide they are on drive C). If you need to put these files on another drive, the registry can be edited to set the relevant file paths.
