I have an Atari 520 ST (a very early model) with an A.E. Brown 1 meg
upgrade.  I noticed that my mouse arrow 'wanders' with 2 programs.
For some reason, both programs were on partition F of my 20 meg Supra
hard drive.  I thought it was a problem with memory.  Does anyone out
there have any ideas on what causes the 'wandering mouse arrow' ?  The
2 programs it happens in are: the demo version of Calamus and the
GFA Basic program from STart magazine.

Since I thought the 'wandering mouse' was a software bug, I dumped both
of those programs from my hard disk.
