Speedy Mouse is a fun little INIT which will cause your mouse to move
twice as fast as it normally does. This INIT is free and is distributed under
the GNU General Public License; this archive contains complete THINK C 6.0.1
source code and project files for the INIT. If you do not have FTP access,
e-mail the author for a copy of the INIT, the source code, or a list of other
programs by the same author. The address is f8dy@netaxs.com.

Changes in version 1.2: the mouse no longer bounces off the edge of the
screen, and the cursor disappears correctly now while you are typing. Also,
the mouse will move at normal speed while the caps lock is down.

This code demonstrates the basics of writing and installing a VBL, and
manipulating undocumented low-memory globals. I used to say that this code
would work on any Mac, but that has proved not to be true. If you have any
compatibility problems, please report them to me at f8dy@netaxs.com. Many
helpful users all over the world have provided feedback that has helped me
advance Speedy Mouse this far.
