No Blink
========

noblink1.zip	Steady caret(text cursor) optional clock [VB3]


No Blink and No Blink with Date/Time are two tiny programs which will make 
your text cursor (caret) rock steady.

No Blink with Date/Time will also display a digital clock formatted any way 
you like.

These progams are in NOBLINK1.ZIP along with a windows help file.


Installation
------------

No Blink

Copy NOBLINK.EXE, and optionally NOBLINK.HLP to the same directory on your 
hard disk.
Start Program Manager and open the group you want to launch No Blink from. 
("StartUp" is recommended). Now select File|New to create a new item and use 
the Browse command to locate NOBLINK.EXE. No Blink is now ready to run. Note 
that when run the only visible clues that it is running are that your caret 
is steady and No Blink appears in your Task Manager's list of running 
programs. No Blink can only be terminated by selecting it in Task Manager 
and choosing End Task.

No Blink with Date/Time

Copy NOBLINKT.EXE, and optionally NOBLINK.HLP to the same directory on your 
hard disk.
Start Program Manager and open the group you want to launch No Blink with 
Date/Time from. ("StartUp" is recommended). Now select File|New to create a 
new item and use the Browse command to locate NOBLINKT.EXE. No Blink with 
Date/Time is now ready to run. You may wish to customise the font, font size 
and the format of the date and time displayed: to do so you add command line 
options after the path and name of the program in the Command Line section. 
(See Options.) No Blink with Date/Time can only be terminated by selecting 
it in Task Manager and choosing End Task.

Uninstalling

Simply delete the No Blink files from their directory and their entries in 
the Program Manager group.


Compatibility
-------------

These programs run under Windows and require the Visual Basic runtime 
library VBRUN300.DLL, obtainable from the same source as the No Blink 
programs.
Neither program changes WIN.INI or any of your other files.

These programs work with Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups 3.x, Windows NT 
and Windows '95 beta, and with all applications which follow Microsoft's rules. 
(Sadly this means that the caret in Word versions 2 and 6 will continue 
blinking - Microsoft don't appear to follow their own rules: if you dislike 
blinking cursors why not ask Microsoft to provide a "No Blink" option in 
Control Panel's Desktop.)
