Is this for win95?  If it is then you could try getting RSXNTDJ and 
following some rather complicated instructions I have put in a message 
earlier, or you could download lcc-win32 at 
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/
and use that, (you have to know windows programming for both).
The stuff for programming a win95 ss is shown here:
The main points to know are 

   1.a saver is just an executable with a .scr extension 
   2.the setup dialog is invoked with a /c argument; otherwise the app 
just shows the saver. 
   3.when invoked with "/p hwnd" then it's preview mode 

If the screen saver is for dos then it is a dos program.  If it is for 
win 3.x then I don't know.
