Utilities/!Pointer3/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

HELP for Pointer fixer 3
========================
This application changes the appearance of the mouse
pointer. Running it changes the pointer to a nice 'hand'
pointer.
To define your own pointer shape, use !Paint to edit
the sprite in the sprite file '!Pointer3.!Pointer'.
To re-define to pointer colours, change the 'MS1' and
'MS2' colours in the default desktop palette, and then
save the palette as '!Pointer3.!Palette'.
