- PatchPointer v1.02 © 1993 SilverBox Development Group by Steve Lemieux
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Function :
- ----------
-
- 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 sent 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 <process number> c
-
- Even from the CLI, you can use the commodity exchange to remove PatchPointer.
