Try to get the application rmover (it comes with the Macintosh software supplement). You can use this to "cut" and "paste" resources from one application to another. The wristwatch cursor may exist in the system, but if it doesn't find an application to copy it from. Craig McGowan ...!rochester!ur-univax!cam2

Makes sense: in order to know how to program the Mac, you buy Lisa disks. In addition to the Lisa disks and some MAC stuff that just about everyone should have by now, you get the Inside Macintosh updates, and a copy of the real Inside Macintosh, if Apple can ever figure out what they put in there machine. (The ROM hasn't changed, the System File hasn't changed since May. Why do we have to wait until now to find out how to use GetTime?) -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!sa!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307

There is a wristwatch in the font Cairo.
Obtaining the bitpattern is easy: goto MacPaint, type the wristwatch-18,
switch to FatBits, correct the time, write down the bitpattern.
You can use this pattern in your (BASIC?)program with SETCURSOR.

When the Mac is busy doing something time-consuming, it puts up a wrist-watch cursor. I would like to use this cursor, but have not been able to capture it by a screen snap-shot, because the snapshot event is queued until after the reason for the watch has gone away. (Not surprising). Although it does not seem to difficult to design this thing, can anyone save me the trouble by sending me the bit pattern for this cursor? (Striving for consistency, I would like my cursor to be exactly the same as other software is using. If I guess, this probably won't happen.) A different question: How does one get updates/supplements to the Inside Macintosh documentation. We bought Inside MAC a few months ago; today my program needed to know the time. I found reference to a routine GetTime in one of the programs that has been distributed on the net, but could find no mention of this anywhere in Inside Macintosh. Or any other description to time, clock, etc? There must be updated documentation coming out of Apple. How does one keep up? L. R. Custead Dept of Silly Walks Univ of Saskatchewan
