[comp.sys.amiga.misc] Dmouse- cursor blanks as well- any solutions?

technews@iitmax.iit.edu (Kevin Kadow) (05/22/91)

In JR-Comm, Dmouse not only blanks the pointer, it also blanks the cursor,
which can be a major pain.

Are there any mouse blankers which don't do this?

Yes: DMouse.  Except, you have to have the proper version.  Get DMouse V1.20
(the one on Fish Disk #258).  This is the one that I use, and it works fine.
Note that it's important to get the one from FF #258, since there are two
versions of DMouse in the Fred Fish collection labeled V1.20.  I've never
tried the other one, and I can't say anything about it.


I'm not sure what enhancements further versions offer, but I think you'll
find that this one suits your needs.  I've also never had a guru I would
attribute to it.
