- esuoM - Backwards Mouse!
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- This program is a simple little screen hack. When installed, it causes
- the mouse pointer to move in the opposite direction of the mouse. When
- you move the mouse to the right, the pointer goes to the left; when
- you move the mouse forward, the pointer goes down, etc. If you want to
- get really confused, install and remove the program several times just
- as you are getting used to it!
-
- The program installs in input handler which intercepts any mouse movements
- and reverses them before sending them on to other applications. This is
- a standard Amiga method of modifying the input stream, so it should work
- well with most other applications running. (I did notice an interesting
- and unexpected interaction with ROBOTROFF - you should try it!)
-
- This program was compiled with Lattice C 4.01. It must be compiled with
- the -y option, which makes the interrupt handler routine load the pointer
- to the data segment into A4. The program will crash if this option is not
- specified.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- This program can be run either from the CLI or the Workbench. From the
- CLI type:
-
- run esuoM
-
- From the Workbench, just double click on the esuoM icon. The program
- will then install itself and start messing with your mouse and your mind.
-
- REMOVAL
-
- To remove the program, simply (?) click on the close gadget on the little
- esuoM window. The program will then remove itself, and your mouse will
- be normal again.
