TROUBLE SHOOTING
================
Mouse Pointer Problems
----------------
ECS/OCS systems doesn't seem to support more than 16 pixels wide pointers, even when
running on a graphics card, meaning that you won't se most of the pointer (which
are 32x32 pixels). If this is the case try giving the executable "NoCustomPointers"
as an argument.
If the pointer flickers, or you have other problems with the screen update, and are
running P96, you can try the "P96WritePixelArray" argument, which uses that method
when writing to the screen instead of writing directly. CGX doesn't have such a
method for 16 bit buffers.
