Has anyone successfully modified the heavy black cursor in MacKermit?
It's getting on my nerves a little bit. I tried ResEdit, but I can't
find it in the resources anywhere. I can live with it, but it would be
nice...... Thanks, Eric.

The cursor in CKMKER isn't done via a resource (either a CRSR or a FONT character). Instead, it's done by a specific InvertRect call that toggles the screen-bits that lie under the cursor location. As far as I can tell, there's no way to change its appearance without going in with a code-patching utility and altering the code that calculates the dimensions of the rectangle. I don't like it much, either... and if/when I succeed in porting CKMKER into Lightspeed C, I may decide to create an alternate cursor shape and/or set up a nonblinking cursor.

Save yourself the trouble. Paul Placeway here at OSU has already ported MacKermit to LightspeedC. He has also added long packets, and is making the terminal emulator full ansi. I believe he has maild his changes to Columbia. Cheers, ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Science Department Mark A.
