You probably remember my request for such a beast last April, or someone
elses request that was more recently posted.  I got several replies
last April from people who said "If you find one, I want it too.", but
not a single pointer to where one exists.

With the plethora of programs for every purpose (I love alliteration),
it seems we have uncovered an unmet need, and perhaps an opportunity
for someone to make a buck.

How about it?  Any of you programmers pondering a plunge (there I go again)
into the lucrative world of shareware programming with a Virtual Mouse
driver?
