- 'PtrOff' is a INTUITIONized version of 'MouseOff' by Denny Jenkins.
- I almost named it MouseOff2 but found out that someone already
- wrote a version with that name. Well, may be at this moment, someone
- already came out with MouseOff3 or MouseOff4. I will play with my luck
- by choosing this name.
-
- 'MouseOff' is a program that makes the mouse pointer to disappear
- if the mouse hasn't moved in a certain period of time. If the user
- moves the mouse, the pointer will reappear. It's a pretty useful
- tool when you are looking a screen full of text and somehow you have
- the feeling that the pointer is always in your way. 'MouseOff'
- can be invoked by using CLI.
-
- 'PtrOff' is supposed to be an improved version of 'MouseOff'. It adds
- some more user-friendly features like the ability to change the time period
- before the pointer will disappear, the ability to turn 'PtrOff' off and
- the ability to invoke it from WorkBench.
-
- 'PtrOff' can be invoked either from CLI or WorkBench. To invoke it from
- CLI, you need to type:
-
- run PtrOff
-
- To invoke it from WorkBench, just click on the icon twice.
-
- When invoked, 'PtrOff' will open a window with the name 'PtrOff'.
- This window is deselected. The default time period is 10 seconds.
- You can change the interval by clicking on the window. The window enlarges
- and show an gadget. Enter any value between 1 and 999. Any illegal
- value will be ignored.
-
- The user can turn off 'PtrOff' by either clicking on the close gadget of
- the window or using CLI command 'Break' (break <tasknum>).
-
- KNOWN BUGS:
-
- Preferences cannot be changed correctly when 'PtrOff' is running.
