| Does anyone have a program/object that can switch the pointer
off/on?
cheers

| on fish disk #75 is a program called MouseOff that hides the mouse
pointer until it detects mouse movement. The docs say that it includes
source, doesn't say what language.

| Thanks dave...
Does anyone have this program available on the net?

I looked on tape::user2:[amiga.old_fish] but it didn't have
fish #75. Didn't see it on wjg::user1:[amiga.fish] either.
So... it took a while, looks like binary file transfers have stopped
working for me... finally got it up to the vax as uuencoded text.
It can found at:
BAGELS::SCRATCH:[SCRATCH.BRANNON.AMIGA]MOUSEOFF.ZOO
It is Stream_LF format, and I tested it - appears to work fine under
KS/WB 1.3 (kind of amazing for software that old)
Are there any plans to update the enet fish directories to contain
all of the older fish disks?

| For future reference, try tape::user2:[amiga.fish.ff075]
I think most/all the disks are there.
One of the Amiga Plus disks had a utility to save/load pointers.
It also came with about 20 decent pointers. I would bet that
the code is non-distributable, but I couldn't find anything
that definitely said so. Anyone know for sure?

| re:.6 oops, forgot to check there. I should mention that
I highly recommend that Aquarium program, it makes searching
the fish disks for things like that mouseoff very easy. I
just searched for any text that included the word "pointer".

| The pointers are on Amiga+ disk 4. They are copyrighted.

| I hate to say it, but I think I saw mention of a program that
does the same thing on a recent fish disk. But I'm at work
and the Aquarium is at home :-)

| 3231.10 | Almost there... | NZOV01::MCKENZIE | Stop Pollution: Leave a legacy | Thu Dec 21 1989 06:15 | 19 |
| Thanks for the pointer Dave - I downloaded the file and it works
PERFECTLY both from within the workbench and from CLI. I'll have
to get hold of a C compilier and re-compile so I can adjust the
time delay to about 1 second instead of 10.
One question: How can I run this program from within AmigaBASIC?
I have tried and it doesnt seem to work...is there anything special
I have to do to it to make it work...?
Ideally I'd like to make it a sub-program so I could call it from
any program and then return to the point in the program where I
left and called the MOUSEOFF ...
any and all help appreciated
Thanks again
Phil

| re:.10
How are you running the program from within AmigaBASIC now?
re: saving the pointer
It's on fish disk 150, a program called Iconizer.
