==============================================================================

          Well today started off really shi.....(fill in the blanks) Here 
     we were getting woken up again by the PEN guards for breakfast... BA
     HUMBUG... Life in the PEN is a bummer. Even us convicts have to pass
     the time so we decided to pull out our A2000 w/HardDrive and all to
     animate the workbench pointer.  Always wanted to be as free as a bird,
     now looking at my pointer makes me dream.  Besides we had heard that
     this feat was quite impossible... NOT WITH AN AMIGA!!! (MAC/ST users
     eat your heart out.)

          So here it is, just type "RUN HUMBIRD" at the CLI prompt. If you
     ever get tired of our cute little bird (OH! NO MISTER BILL), you can 
     use the DOS status command to find out what the task number of "humbird"
     is and then use the DOS break X command and your old (yuchie) pointer
     will come back.


     HAPPY HUMMING!!!

     Addendum:

           1. Here we are again by popular demand with our little hummer...
              Some improvements have been made to satisfy those that spoke
              up.  First, our little bird will now follow you in every
              window of the system so that you do not have to deal with
              our colors but not our pointer...  Second, since we noticed
              that the colors would go back to the system colors when
              MouseOff was running, we built in our own mouseoff function.
              This feature will turn off the mouse after ~10 seconds of
              inactivity.

           2. Once again, HAPPY HUMMING from C&P SOFTWARE.



     Addendum 19 Feb 88:

	   1.  Known bugs:  There are only 3 known bugs at this time, 
               if a window appears under the pointer and the pointer is 
               inactive, the pointer will revert back to the system pointer 
               until the mouse is moved again.  The second bug is with Amiga
               Basic, using the Start menu option will cause a guru.

               The third bug is more of a intuition bug that we belive that there
	       is no easy fix for.  At certain undetermined times, when
	       flipping around screens, the mouse pointer will disappear and
	       will not return until it is on a different screen.  Many thanks
               for all the letters from our friends, and a special thanks to
               all our beta testers without whom these bugs may never have
               come to light.  If you find a glitch or improve our code 
               please re-post it to People Link from which this program
               originated.  Well thats about it.  Please mail any correspon-
               dance to myself (Plink ID: Tony*S) in relation to bugs, new 
               images,  or just idle BS.  
               Enjoy.....         Tony Solomon
