---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.00 of Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2 (WPAMPTR) is now available.

"Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2" is a FREEWARE WPS integrated SOM enhancement
class for the mouse object. With this program you can animate all of the OS/2
mouse pointers.

The following animation resource types are supported:
  - OS/2 pointer files
  - Win* cursor files
  - Win* Animation files
  - AniMouse resource DLL files
  - animation set directories which can contain any of the above
    within a certain name scheme.
    (location on any partition supporting long file names like HPFS).

"Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2" also includes a creation program for
AniMouse resource DLL files. More, "Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2"
introduces the "Static Pointer" feature (even within AniMouse resource DLL
files).

"Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2" replaces the Pointers page in the Mouse
object so you can configure all the animations simply by modifying the
settings of the Mouse object, as you are already used to do. Use the advanced
Drag&Drop functionality provided by "Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2" to drag
all the supported resource files directly over the container or over one of
its items (mouse pointers) to simply change the animation for all or only for
one of the mouse pointers.

Further, Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2 introduces some new Mouse object
settings strings so that you can setup all animation settings via the REXX API
call SysSetObjectData().

And you get that all for FREE.

You can download "Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2" via FTP from
hobbes.nmsu.edu.  Look for:

     ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming/amptr100.zip      (currently)
or   ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/wpsutil/amptr100.zip   (when properly
                                                      checked-in to archive)
