Somebody asked for a mouseaccelerator. I saw one yet, doubling the mouse
speed. Yukh! Not all pixels are accessable anymore. (Pressing the right
button would set the speed to normal, but some programs use the right mouse
button!).
Here's another accelerator. It comes from STart, a Dutch ST magazine.
It will speed the mouse following the formula: n * (n + 1) / 2, resulting
in the following mousemovetable:

      mouse         cursor
      -----         ------
        0              0
        1              1
        2              3
        3              6
        4             10
       ...            ...

The program is an acc. butdoesn't appear in the menu.
