Hello.... I've posted this message before, but haven't seen it show up at any node different from the one where I posted it... Perhaps that node isn't putting things on the net, I dunno... Anyhow, I'm looking for someone who knows how to change the default *WB* busy pointer from those silly little zzz's to something else... I know it can be done as I've seen a PD program that will change it to the word 'BUSY'. The author of that program alluded to making the pointer user definable in a subsequent release, but that never happened, as far as I know. Besides, I'd rather learn how to do it myself. I've looked in SysBase and some other structures, but no where can I find the pointer to the BUSY image.... Anyone have any ideas??? Regards B F

I came across a program called "changezz" a while back. Its purpose was to change the "z-z" balloon into the word BUSY, but it crashed when I tried running it on my machine. It came with a 12K binary file (no source) plus the following read.me file: >changezz will change the default zz balloon on workbench to the word BUSY. >I've tested it fairly extensively (that means it was set up for a few days >while I did other work), and I can't think of any reasons why there should >be any problems with it, but I make no warranties regarding it's fitness for >any purpose whatsoever. > >It will run on versions 1.1 and 1.2 of KickBench, although I'd bet big money >it won't run on 1.3. > >It must be run after WorkBench is loaded, and will take effect the next time >the WorkBench becomes busy. > >I'm not proud of the sprite I've substituted, and if anyone cares to suggest >a better image, I'd consider changing it, or maybe even read the sprite from >a file in the next(?) version. > >Steve Crabtree Feb. 17th. 1987.
