This appication is written in TurboPascal 5.5 and runs in graphics mode--EGA, VGA, or Hercules. Using the standard SetGraphicsCursor routine (listed below), I can successfully get a cursor in EGA and VGA. But the Hercules cursor looks like it's being mapped to memory all wrong--actually, as looks as if the mouse was using the text cursor instead of the graphics cursor. This hunch is reinforced by the fact that the x and y coords of the mouse move in increments of 8. My guess is that the mouse driver isn't getting word of the shift to graphics mode (I've got a Logitech mouse with driver 4.10). I'm sure this has been hashed over before in this (or some related) group, but my site doesn't keep notes around for very long so I couldn't find any reference of such a discussion. If someone can even point me to a reference or source, I'd be grateful. Eric Isaacson Eric J. Isaacson (the other) Internet: isaacso@ucs.indiana.edu School of Music--Indiana Univ.
