Mr. Caret 1.0 (MCARET10) Copyright (C) 1994 Natural Software Company DESCRIPTION The caret is a blinking symbol located in a window. It usually shows the location where the next text will be inserted. The caret is typically an underline, a vertical line or a block. In Windows, there is only one caret for the whole system. When a program sets the blink rate, that rate will stay in effect until another program resets it. Unfortunately, this means that the caret is often not blinking at the rate you would like. It is particularly difficult to cause the caret to not blink at all. Mr. Caret allows you to set the caret blinkrate to any speed you like. Or you may set the caret to not blink at all. Mr. Caret keeps track of the blinkrate to ensure that no program changes the blinkrate to something else. Mr. Caret does NOT change the default blinkrate which is set from the Control Panel and is stored in WIN.INI. When Mr. Caret is disabled or not running, the blink rate reverts to this system default. Mr. Caret is only $8. It is not crippled in any way. INSTALLATION Copy the files: MRCARET.EXE MRCARET.HLP to any directory you like. The other files are optional and may be deleted.
