This patch is designed to turn off the save cursor function. It can only be applied to the Helix Express 4.5.1 Server application.

The save cursor warns Client users when a Server is in a Save routine. The Server needs to be in communication with the Client to send this notification. In some cases the Client application may be running in the background, and the forground application does not provide the Server access to the Client. The Server is persistant, and will wait until it can send its message to the Client. When this happens, the Server appears to hang and all other Clients also appear to hang.

This patch will turn the save cursor OFF so the Server will no longer bother to notify the Client that a save is taking place. In place of the save cursor, the Clients will see the network cursor.
