Here are the programs you have been waiting for...
CURSOR UTILITIES
(c) 1987 Dan Little
There are 2 programs included in this package. These must be kept
together along with this readme.txt file. Below is a description of
each program.
#1 - CURSOR1. This program will cause your cursor to grow on you (no
pun intended). Very simply, you press the up arrow key
for the next size up, and the down arrow key for the next
size down. Press return when you have the size you want,
and you are back in DOS. You can press the down arrow
key until the cursor disappears. The setting right
before this happens is a full size cursor.
#2 - CURSOR2. This program gives you complete control of the starting
and ending scan lines of the cursor. Experiment with
this a little bit, and you will see some of the different
formats your little guy can take on. Here are a few
examples:
- Set starting scan to 0, and ending scan to 2.
The result is a top heavy cursor.
- Set starting scan to 12, and ending scan to 1.
The result is a cursor on top, and a cursor on
the bottom.
You will seriously enjoy using this with a cooperative
text editor or word processor (uncooperative software is
software that will reset the cursor size on you).
A few final notes:
I am using DOS 3.1. I do not know if this will work with any
earlier versions (as I do not have any earlier versions), but my
resource material tells me it should. If you have questions, or
suggestions, or a $5.00 payment, you may write to:
