HUMBIRD 1.0 Copyright 1988
by
C&P SOFTWARE
==============================================================================
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.
Addendum2:
1. Well We were getting complaints that humbird was not working
under version 1.3 therefore here it is again, HUMBIRD1.3.
There is however one catch, You must have a NewShell window
open with "AmigaShell" as it's window title, since this is the
window title we key on to find out how to change the pointer.
Not the greatest, but it works!!! If there is enough interest,
we will put out version 1.4 which will open it's own window
and therefore avoid you having to have a window you may not
want around... (So speak up!!!).
2. Once more, HAPPY HUMMING from C&P SOFTWARE.
