DMouse V1.28gmd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a port to SAS/C 6.5x of :-
a) Matt Dillon's Dmouse (v1.25),
mouse-accelerator/window-selector/screen-blanker, and
b) Steve Berry's Dlineart, a program invoked by DMouse after
a keyboard timeout, which can then draw pretty patterns on your
screen. Patterns include rapidly-changing boxes, splines, ellipses,
in periodically changing colours - all which now can be changed on
the fly from the keyboard.
C-source is supplied for both programs; all ASM purged !
Some functional enhancements were made :-
1) invoking dmouse/dlineart with -v option shows current invocation
parameters (only the interesting ones for dmouse)
- this makes it easier to play around experimenting with
parameters.
2) Dlineart has a few more options to allow tweaking its display.
Non-functional changes :-
- all assembly purged (after much effort)
- much hacking to allow generation of SAS function prototypes,
and removal of compilation warnings/errors under SAS.
Installation : evaluation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To evaluate these programs, you can say unpack them in RAM:. e.g.
cd RAM: , and then invoke them by :-
dmouse
Run Dlineart >nil: <nil:
Then play around with the options as mentioned.
(hint: if you change dlinearts parameters, you can shorten dmouse'
keyboard with say 'dmouse -s5' )
Installation : for real
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copy Dmouse, Dlineart somewhere in your path ( e.g. C:, although
I put this sort of stuff in a specially-created D: for non Commodore
programs )
Copy dmouse-handler to L:.
In your S:user-startup somewhere, put the following:-
<path>dmouse
Run <path> Dlineart >nil: <nil:
... where <path> is where you put them , such as "C:".
