Well, I've seen this discussion before...
I'd say about 5 months ago, this was an active question (setting the
cursor on/off/solid and I said I'd write a quicky TSR to try and
fix it. Well, it took awhile, but, having time during Thanksgiving,
I hammered one out. This is a basic description/problem list:
1. It does reproduce a solid, non-blinking cursor, where the cursor
should be.
2. However, it gets really nasty when the screen scrolls up during
cursor repositioning (i.e. during a "DIR")
3. It crashes Turbo Pascal, once you enter the edit mode.
4. It makes IBM Basica do very strange things.
All-in-all these are not good signs. I used the tried-and-true,
anti-IBM method of replacing the vector table addresses, so I know
that works. I will post it for fixing/examination. But my
question is, do I post it here, somewhere else, or mail it
to somebody???? (all this moderation/no moderation stuff left
me in the dust - I should have paid attention). Somebody let
me know, and I'll have it out by Tuesday, if I find out how.
Then, maybe we can all have solid cursors, at least sometimes.
