MouseWarp Version 1.5

All rights reserved.
Features
--------
MouseWarp is a multi-purpose Windows mouse enchancement utility.
With Mouse Warp, your meek mouse assumes greater abilities
such as:
- Changing your mouse pointer into various different shapes
which make it more visible on laptops and high resolution
monitors.
- The selection of either right-handed or left-handed
mouse pointers for the default pointer or any of the
enhanced cursors provided by Mouse Warp.
- Blinking after several seconds of mouse inactivity so when
you come back to your computer you can find the mouse
instantly.
- The ability to move the mouse, in *any* application,
by using the keyboard arrow keys while holding the
Control and/or Alt keys.
- The ability to wrap around the edges of the screen so
if you go off the left side of the screen, you come
back in on the right side.
To select different mouse pointers or choose a left handed
mouse pointer, select the Mouse Pointer entry from the
MouseWarp system menu. You will be presented with views of the
different cursors available.
From the Preferences dialog box you can choose to enable
blinking, keyboard mouse movement or mouse wrapping.
With blinking enabled, the mouse will start to blink if you
do not move the mouse for two seconds. This makes it easy
to find the mouse if you get up from the computer and
come back.
When the keyboard mouse is enabled, you can move the mouse
cursor solely from the keyboard. To move the mouse hold down
the Control key and press the cursor arrow keys. This will
move the mouse ten pixels in the direction you pressed. For
fine movement, hold down the Alt key instead and for huge
jumps across the screen, hold down both the Control and
Alt keys at the same time. This can be handy on laptops or
for precision graphics work.
Mouse wrapping enables your mouse to wrap around the edges of
the screen and come back in on the other side. This can be
really handy when playing Solitare!
Mouse Warp will remember your settings from one Windows session
to the next so the next time you run it, you won't have to make
the selections again.
If you are running Windows 3.1, place MouseWarp in your Start
Up folder and it will automatically load every time you start
Windows with all your favorite settings enabled. If you use
Mouse Warp just for the enhanced cursor shapes you can setup
Mouse Warp to automatically exit after it sets the new mouse
shape so it won't clutter up your desktop.
To do so, select the MouseWarp icon and pick Properties from
the Program Manager's File menu. At the end of the Command
Line entry, add "/Q" (don't add the double quotes) and then
click on OK. Note that all other MouseWarp features will be
disabled if you do this. If at a later date you want Mouse Warp
to stay on the desktop, just remove the "/Q".
MouseWarp Version 1.5 is shareware. It may be copied and
distributed freely under the following conditions:
- No modifications are to be made to MouseWarp or this
