***** Mouse Doubler *****
***** *****
version 2.0
September 30, 1988
Copyright 1988 Kyle Cordes
SHAREWARE!
Mouse Doubler makes all mouse movements go twice as far
(or 3 or 4 times), so your mouse only needs half of the space
and your hand only needs to move half as far.
Just run MOUSDOUB.PRG from the desktop or drop it in
your AUTO folder to use it.
In high resolution, Mouse Doubler doubles movements in
both directions. In medium resolution, it doubles movement
in only the X direction. In low resolution, it has no effect
at all. The net effect is that the mouse can be moved easily
around the screen in all resolutions, as opposed to the
normal state of requiring more movement in higher
resolutions.
MD now has an added control - If you hold down the left
Shift key, the doubling effect is turned off, so you can make
precise adjustments of the pointer's position.
If MD starts to get in the way (i.e. in drawing
programs, where it makes blocky lines), it can be turned on
and off. To turn MD off, hold Control and Alternate and
press the left mouse button. To turn it on, hold Control and
Alternate and press the right mouse button. Note that
Control-Alt-Right button also centers the pointer as will be
explained in a moment.
The on/off feature allows MD to be used when the
application you are running requires that you press the
Control, Alternate, and Shift keys for its own purposes while
using the mouse.
After a while of using the shift-key feature, the
positions of the mouse on the table and the pointer on the
screen can become out of sync. The result of this is that
the mouse will be near one edge of its area while the pointer
is near the opposite edge of the screen. When this happens,
just move the mouse to the center of its desk area then press
Control-Alt-Right mouse button. This will center the
pointer. Voila!
MD 2.0 can be used at several different scaling factors
- 2x, 3x, and 4x. for 2x scaling, use MOUSDOUB.PRG. For 3x
use MOUSTRIP.PRG and for 4x use MOUSQUAD.PRG.
As of version 2.0, Mouse Doubler is Shareware. If you
use Mouse Doubler often, please send me a few dollars ($5
suggested) to help pay for my efforts (and all this computer
equipment!). If you think $5 is too much, just send whatever
you deem appropriate.
Thanks!
