Short: 2 useful tiny utilities for DMouse

version 1.0

General Information

Disclaimer
DMouse tools are Freeware. This means, that you are allowed to

Requirements
To use DMouse tools you need the program "DMouse" by Matt Dillon
(at least v1.25).
What are "DMouse tools" ?
DMouse tools are useful programs running in combination with
DMouse. They make use of the IPC mechanism which DMouse offers.
This version of DMouse tools contains 2 utilities:
- DBlankNow
- DSysMouse
***************************************************************
1. DBlankNow
"DBlankNow" activates DMouse's built-in screen immediately when
it is run. This tools thus features a "blank-now" facility
provided by many good screen blankers (also by own blanker
"TwilightZone" ;-) ).
Usage from shell: enter "DBlankNow" (after blanking the program
terminates).
***************************************************************
2. DSysMouse
DMouse's built-in mouse blanker is implemented as a quite dirty
hardware hack (turing off sprite DMA, clearing data registers
manually etc.) and does more than it should do: it turns off
ALL sprites (thus it must be called "sprite blanker") !!!
"DSysMouse" replaces the built-in mouse blanker with a system-
conformant mouse blanker (SetPointer/ClearPointer) which turns
off only one sprite: the mouse pointer.
Usage from shell: enter "RUN >NIL: DSysMouse".
