OS/2 Pointers

These are a few Windows animated pointers I created for both eCS and OS/2. I called this set "Colored Orbs". These were created just for fun. People can use them as they wish. Use at your own risk. REQUIREMENTS: OS/2 Warp 4 or eCS Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2 by Christian Langanke. TO INSTALL: 1. Unzip to a temporary directory. 2. Copy the *.ani files to your os2\pointer directory. 3. Right click on the desktop. 4. Select "System Setup". 5. Double click on "Mouse". 6. Select the "Pointers" tab 7. Single click on the "arrow pointer". 8. Then select the "Find" button at the bottom of the tabbed page. 9. Select one of the *.ani pointers. 10. Its picture will now appear on the "Pointers" page. 11. If you don't like it select another one. 12. When satisfied, close the mouse properties page. When the WPS is restarted, any ani pointer that had been previous selected will show when you use find again. Enjoy, David Graser dwgras@swbell.net

These are a few Windows animated pointers I created for both eCS and OS/2. These are not complete sets even though some are close. These were created just for fun. People can use them as they wish. Use at your own risk. Animated flage pointers for eCS and OS/2. Replace the files of previous flag versions with the files in this version. Any version prior to this needs to have the FlagItalian.ani, FlagItalian2.ani, FlagFrench.ani, FlagFrench2.ani, FlagKorea.ani, and FlagKorea2.ani replaced with the files in this version. There is a bug in the previous versions of these files. The system can go into a continuous loop when the WPS starts. If this happens, either install a previous archive, boot to a command prompt and delete the the problem ani file from the OS2\pointers directory, or replace the files in the OS2\pointers with the files from this package.

These are a few Windows animated pointers I created. Most are arrow pointers with one wait pointer. Some of the pointerS have an eComStation theme. These are not complete sets. There are 14 aninmated arrow pointers and 1 wait cursor. These were created just for fun. People can use them as they wish. Use at your own risk.

Leon Grossman lgrossm@ceatlabs.okstate.edu January 31, 1997 These are the animated update of my popular (OK, I got one email but I still like them.) Ladybug mouse pointers. I stole the 3d red pointers from the Merlin distribution but the arrow, illegal, and wait pointers are mine. You must have Animouse or the Animated Mouse Pointer for OS/2 package installed to use these pointers properly. If you have the proper program installed you can just copy the ladybug.and file to your OS2\pointers subdirectory and load it as a pointer set. I have also included the .PTR files so that they can be edited or changed into a static mouse pointer set. If you edit my pointers, send me a copy. I might like your modifications better than my own. All I ask is that you send me an email with your comments, impressions, praise, etc... to lgrossm@ceatlabs.okstate.edu

2 simple helicopter animations for animouse: I have made 2 simple helicopter animations for use with animouse. I have only made the arrow.ptr and borrowed the rest from the winwag set for now. To install make a sub-directory off of the main animouse directory called "heli". Put the *.ico and *.ptr files here. Then put the *.anm files in the main animouse directory and associate them with the proper icons. That's it, any comments send to hemenway@nai.net

\\ // \\// //\\ // \\ P O I N T E R S / 2 This is another attempt at making X-like pointers. I saw a few versions on the net, but they were not what I wanted, so I made my own. These icons are based on the X-windows pointers under the Motif window magager. When used together with NPSWPS Enhancer and/or FeelX, they make a more realistic X look and feel. Some pointers like the ILLEGAL.PTR I had to make up, 'cause I 'aint seen no "illegal" pointer on the X yet. They should be easily visible on variety of backgrounds, and serve me well. I made them and use them at 1024x768 screen resoulution, therefore they may look too big and clumsy on lower resolutions. To install them 1) make a directory called X in your y:\os2\pointers directory, where y: is your boot drive ( ie. something like c:\os2\pointers\X ) 2) copy all of the files included in this archive there 3) open your MOUSE settings palette (It is located in your SYSTEM SETUP folder) 4) click on the POINTERS tab 5) click on LOAD SET ... button 6) choose X 7) Enjoy! To uninstall 1) open your MOUSE settings palette 2) click on the POINTERS tab 3) click on LOAD SET ... button 4) choose BLACK (default set of pointers) 5) delete the X pointers and remove the X directory This set is of course public domain, so use'em and abuse'em to your heart's content. highest regards Simon Pasieka MijiCo Digital Limted '95 spasieka@calum.uwaterloo.ca ps. As a "bouns" I included a second ILLEGAL.PTR. So use the one you like. Remember that the one named ILLEGAL.PTR will be loaded as your poiter, so if you want the other you gotta rename it to ILLEGAL.PTR.
