Mouser CSM is a Control Strip Module that displays the global coordinates of the current mouse position.
How do I install Mouser CSM?
Copy Mouser CSM into your Control Strip Modules folder (in the System Folder). If you don't have a Control Strip Modules folder you probably aren’t using the Control Strip from Apple Computer. I recommend it highly. It comes with most recent System Software releases but doesn’t automatically install using Easy Install. Instead, use Custom Install to install it.
Using Mouser CSM
Mouser CSM has two states: enabled and disabled. When Mouser CSM is disabled (it’s default state), it looks like this and does nothing:
However, clicking on it causes it to change to its enabled state:
When it is enabled, Mouser CSM displays the global coordinates of the current mouse position. It gets updated about once every second so you’ll have to wait a bit when moving from one position to another.
Clicking on Mouser CSM again will switch it back to the disabled state.
Registering Mouser CSM
Mouser CSM is shareware. That means you can use it for a while before you buy it. If you decide to use Mouser CSM permanently, you can register by sending a check or money order (U.S. funds only) for five (5) dollars to:
Ryno Software
5603 SE Mall
Portland, OR 97206
After we receive your payment, we will acknowledge receipt either via email (preferred) or the U.S. Postal service. Please be sure to include your name and address in any correspondence. If you would like the most recent version on a disk, add another five (5) dollars.
Mouser CSM is my first Control Strip Module. I’ve got a few ideas for other modules, but won’t pursue them if I get a less than enthusiastic response to Mouser CSM. Please register.

Special thanks to Gregory W Jorgensen for his set of numerical C routines that allowed me to keep this module small. Share the code!
