I just FTPed dmouse 1.22 (since I lost my old copy somehow?). It seems that it doesn't do screen blanking correctly. It blanks the screen, but then the mouse becomes unblanked. This is rather strange behavior. It also exhibits the everpresent bug in Intuition/WB combo (about windows not refreshing correctly when you click on them). What is interesting about this is that version 1.07 didn't exhibit this problem. Anybody got any comments? On an unrelated topic: I realize that the c.s.a.unix group is bogus (since we didn't vote on it), but I do believe that we should have a group for discussing this topic, but it should be called comp.unix.amiga. (I think that somebody pointed this out already). I also believe that we should fork (new Amiga system call? 8-) off comp.os.amiga, and do a ton of crossposting to comp.os.realtime (just to show them what a great OS the Amiga has 8-) Thanks, Ralph gilgalad@dip.eecs.umich.edu gilgalad@zip.eecs.umich.edu gilgalad@caen.engin.umich.edu Ralph_Seguin@ub.cc.umich.edu gilgalad@sparky.eecs.umich.edu USER6TUN@UMICHUB.BITNET Ralph Seguin | "You mean THE Zaphod Beeblebrox?" 536 South Forest | Apartment 915 | "No. Haven't you heard, I come in six packs!"

And while we're at it, lets propose comp.ibm.pc.amiga for bridgeboard stuff and comp.macintosh.amiga for AMAX, and comp.atari.st.amiga for ST dtuff, and then there's the C64 emulator, and the AppleII discusiion, and .... 8-)

An even newer version of dmouse (v1.24) is now available, but since its documentation makes no mention of the v1.22 pointer unblanking bug, I can only assume it too suffers from the same bug.
