MICKEY, a memory resident utility for Ventura Publisher(R), is now
available directly to CompuServe users via SOFTEX electronic software
distribution, from Ventura Publisher(R) re-sellers, and directly from
Metroplex Digital Corporation of Dallas, Texas.
When installed, MICKEY activates the unused right mouse button for
Ventura Publisher(R) and triggers "OK" selection in Ventura Publisher(R)
dialog boxes. The right button allows users to select items, such as
typefaces or frame margins, and then remove dialog boxes without moving
the mouse.
MICKEY also provides "hot keys" that slow down, speed up, and reset
mouse cursor speed, allowing the user to set a speed comfortable for the
monitor in use. This feature can reduce the tendency of lines drawn in
graphics mode to "break" in the middle and of frames to "jump" when
selected. With full page monitors, it is often advantageous to speed up
mouse travel to move up and down the page.
MICKEY operates immediately with bus mice and with two installation
steps with serial mice. MOUSE.COM, or equivalent, must be resident.
MICKEY was originally developed for internal use by MDC as a step toward
improving turnaround time in developing documentation for other software
products. It was made available as a commercial product in August,
1988, to solve a general user need; MICKEY is presently in use both
within Xerox and by Ventura Software, Inc. MICKEY operates with Ventura
Publisher(R) versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0.
MICKEY's manufacturer's suggested retail price is $20.00 US. Credit
card orders (214 231-8944) are shipped next day; immediate copies are
available on CompuServe by typing "GO SOFTEX" at any CompuServe prompt and
then requesting MICKEY.
