- Description
- ===========
-
- There's not much to this module really, it does one job and does it well. All
- it does is remove the mouse pointer whenever you type a character, and
- replace it again whenever you move or click with the mouse.
-
- This module was written after there was something similar on an Acorn User
- disk. I'd been wanting something like this for ages, and then when the Acorn
- User one turned up I was really happy. Until I started using it. I found
- something in the region of a dozen problems with it, some very annoying as
- well. (Such as removing the pointer even if you just press the shift key,
- great for shift double-clicking, not; switching the pointer back on even when
- it shouldn't be, in games and the command line; getting confused with the
- hourglass; etc.) This then spurred me on to write this one, which not only
- fixed all the problems, but also reduced the size by over 30% too. :-)
-
- To use it just double click on it and forget it. It only takes just over ½k
- of memory so is excellent value.

- This program is freeware. You can do what you like with it so long as:
-
- (i) You do not modify either the module nor the help file in any way, nor
- seperate them.
-
- (ii) You do not make any money out of it.
-
- If you want to do one of the above then contact me and ask. I probably don't
- mind.

- This software is provided as is with no warranty as to its suitability or
- otherwise for any particular task. If it does anything nasty then I want to
- know so I can fix it, but I'm not taking any responsibility. (Besides,
- there's no point in sueing me since I've got no money.)

- Contacting
- ==========
-
- I can be contacted through email to mje@soton.ac.uk until the end of June
- '95. After that send it to martin@compton.demon.co.uk. This will
- automatically forward it to my new (as yet unknown) address, although it may
- take a day or two longer. Alternatively, snail to:
-
- Martin Ebourne,
- 1 Malvern Road
- Acocks Green
- Birmingham
- B27 6EG
-
- I can also be contacted on Arcade, though only through private messages since
- I hardly ever read the public ones. (It's bad enough trying to keep up with
- Usenet/NetNews, and that's free!) A much faster response by modem can be
- obtained by calling Challenger on 021 445 3913 [user #3]. 24hr; V21, V22,
- V22bis, V23, V32, V32bis, with MNP1-5, V42 or V42bis; 7E1. Oh, and it's
- Viewdata. :-)
