o All settings are saved and loaded from the icon tooltypes.

as though the eyes are attached to the screen's title bar or you
can choose it's colors.
o The eyes can be auto-centered on the title bar or be located
anywhere on the screen.
o There are two eye sizes. You may choose between the two or let the
program determine which best fits your public screen title bar. The
larger eyes were designed to be used with 11 point fonts.
o You can choose the public screen in which Pointer Eyes appears on.
o If the mouse isn't moved for a while, the eyes will go to sleep, and
periodicaly peek out at you.
o The eyes will blink at random intervals.
o The eyes are rolled periodically.
o Monitors the system preferences files, allowing the WB screen to be
closed/reopened if system preferences are changed.
o You can lock the window in place so you don't accidentlly grab it.
o The eyes can stay behind, in front of all windows, or just float.
o The eyes can follow you around to the front most or active
public screen.
o Low task priority of -2, so it doesn't get in the way of other tasks.

History Since Last Public Release (v3.0):
-----------------------------------------
v3.1 October 28, 1994
Separated MUI preferences into a seperate executable.
Prefs progam can run "in-sync" with PointerEyes program.
When you select a gadget, the Eyes are immediately altered.
Added menus to PointerEyes program.
You can now select any pen # for the colors. This has
slowed jumping from screen to screen Because of 8 planes. :(
Eyes can now move independently from the other. This was
requested by many people, however I don't like it, so it
isn't the default. :)
Added tooltype INDEPENDENTEYES.
Online menu help is available. Press the HELP key when
highlighting a menu item.
It is now a Commodity.
This version was not released. :(
v3.2 February 1, 1995
Lost source code to seperate MUI preferences file. :(
Monitor the PointerEyes icon for tooltype changes.
Changes will take place when the icon is saved.
Preferences menu now loads the icon information for Dos 3.0+ users.
Bug Fix: Sometimes the window was not centered properly.
Fixed possible lockup when moving window and it wasn't centered properly.
Now locks IntuitionBase when looking at its structure.
This version was also not publicly released.
v3.3 March 6, 1995
I now use Wait() for all signals instead of SetSignals(). This should
reduce CPU usage at times.
Because I use Wait(), the timer.device is now used instead of Delay().
Commented out the source code for the message port which was used for
the external preferences program which is no longer in existance.
Bug Fix: Window was not being centered properly when the eye size changed.
Bug Fix: When the eyes jump from screen to screen, AUTOEYESIZE is not
active, and DONTCENTERINTITLEBAR is active, the window is now
placed at the same coordinates they were at on the previous
screen.
Bug Fix: It was impossible to drag WB icons when there was more that one
PointerEyes program running. This is because each eyes window
was constantly calling WindowToBack() to be in the back all of
the time. This problem still occurs when the user has the eyes
stay in the foreground though.
Added tooltype MICROSECUPDATE.
No longer locks IntuitionBase when looking at its structure, since we just
look at the frontmost or active screen.
Bug Fix: Hotkey now toggles whether or not the eyes are displayed.
Bug found by Simon Stelling.
Removed AUTOEYESIZE tooltype, and added AUTO as a value for the
EYESIZE tooltype.
