PatchPointer v1.00 © 1993 SilverBox Development Group by Steve Lemieux ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fonction : ---------- This program replaces the intuition.library SetPointer function with the all new kickstart 3.0 SetWindowPointer function to draw the mouse pointer. You need this patch if you are tired (like me!) to see awful pointers on your AGA machine. This patch uses the PointerDelay feature. If the application clears the pointer or sets another pointer before the delay expires, the pending pointer change is cancelled. This reduces short flashes of the busy pointer. Installation : -------------- The easiest way to install this patch is to move its icon in the WBStartup drawer. From CLI add this line to your 'Startup-Sequence' right after the SetPatch command : run >nil: PatchPointer Configuration : --------------- From CLI : Q=QUIET/S,B=NOBUSYPOINTER/S,N=NONORMALPOINTER/S From tooltypes : NOBUSYPOINTER NONORMALPOINTER Quiet : No output will be send to the screen. Except for error messages. NoBusyPointer : Disable the busy pointer patch. NoNormalPointer : Disable the patch except for the busy pointer. To remove : ----------- If you execute PatchPointer from the workbench or WBStartup, you can remove it with commodity exchange. From CLI, you can remove it by using CTRL-C or you can use the 'Status' command to obtain the process number and type : break c Even from the CLI, you can use the commodity exchange to remove PatchPointer.
