- DMouse tools are Freeware. This means, that you are allowed to
- spread only the complete archive without charging any fee for

-
- Requirements
-
- To use DMouse tools you need the program "DMouse" by Matt Dillon
- (at least v1.25).
-
- What are "DMouse tools" ?
-
- DMouse tools are useful programs running in combination with
- DMouse. They make use of the IPC mechanism which DMouse offers.
- This version of DMouse tools contains 2 utilities:
-
- - DBlankNow
- - DSysMouse
-
- ***************************************************************
-
-
- 1. DBlankNow
-
- "DBlankNow" activates DMouse's built-in screen immediately when
- it is run. This tools thus features a "blank-now" facility
- provided by many good screen blankers (also by own blanker
- "TwilightZone" ;-) ).
-
- Usage from shell: enter "DBlankNow" (after blanking the program
- terminates).
-
- ***************************************************************
-
-
- 2. DSysMouse
-
- DMouse's built-in mouse blanker is implemented as a quite dirty
- hardware hack (turing off sprite DMA, clearing data registers
- manually etc.) and does more than it should do: it turns off
- ALL sprites (thus it must be called "sprite blanker") !!!
- "DSysMouse" replaces the built-in mouse blanker with a system-
- conformant mouse blanker (SetPointer/ClearPointer) which turns
- off only one sprite: the mouse pointer.
-
- Usage from shell: enter "RUN >NIL: DSysMouse".
