Most suggested to use the SunOS 4.x version of
screenblank in binary compatability mode.

However there were a couple of instances of problems.

cbarnard@cs.uchicago.edu suggested that I look at
Casper Dik's Solaris 2 FAQ at
ftp://ftp.fwi.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2.html

In the FAQ I found a pointer to Jef Poskanzer's
freeware screenblank. His version is available from
http://www.acme.com/software/screenblank/

I compiled and installed it. So far it has worked
without any problems.
