Do you want to enhance your programs by providing
an alternative cursor? As well as a different shape, this program
can give you a flashing cursor if you wish.
The effect is achieved by using Player 1 and the
Vertical Blank Interrupt and you should have no problems in
incorporating the routine into your own programs, providing they do
not use similar routines. Note also that RAMTOP is moved down to
provide a protected area, so be careful of this.
The shape of the cursor is determined by the DATA
in lines 32664 and 32665 and follows the normal binary make- up of
characters. You can alter this DATA to have any shape you wish.
Using the routine is simple. Just run it and use
the console keys. START will change between the normal or special
cursor, OPTION will change the shape of the cursor and SELECT will
provide a flashing or steady cursor.
Have fun!
