It does slow things >down a bit as all text is pushed through it but it does the job. It's called MTRemover (MouseText Remover). Technically, text doesn't go _through_ it (there's no way to intercept it all, since many programs store their text directly to the screen memory). Instead, MTRemover installs a "heart beat interrupt task" that the system calls every 1/60 of a second, every "tick." Each time it's called, the task cruises through all the text screen memory and replaces MouseText characters with whatever characters they would have appeared as on a machine with no MouseText. --David A.
