Fellow Pascal Pansies (as the C-types would say): For those of you who thought I was an idiot for not being able to get my mouse unit to work properly, I discovered the problem. My test programs were all using a special 800 x 600 resolution 256 color driver which I need for my image files. When I switched to Borland's standard EGAVGA.BGI and initial- ized with it the damned mouse cursor popped up beautifully. Unfortunately I'm in a quandry. My images are 512 x 512 so I require the higher resolution and they are 8-bit so I require 256 colors. Anyone know (1) why the higher resolution 256 color driver may not be working and (2) how to fix it! My thoughts are that the pixels addressed by the cursor mask need to be redefined, or perhaps the driver doesn't support a function (such as floodfill which I know it doesn't) necessary to draw the cursor. So for the moment I'm stuck... I get great cursors in 640 x 480 mode, I get the proper images in 800 x 600 mode. I need a marriage of the two made in Borland (or through the creative minds of those on the net). By the way, I'm using TP 5.5 Bill Bushing ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ William W.
