No Blink
========

noblink2.zip	Rock steady caret (text cursor), 6.6Kb EXE.


No Blink is a tiny program which will make your text cursor (caret)
rock steady.

It is written in C and requires no supporting files or libraries. It
does not change any of your system files in any way and makes minimal
use of memory and resources. (Only one instance is ever running at any
one time.)

(Note that noblink.exe supercedes my original version which was written
in Visual Basic; if you want a clock facility too, then use noblinkt.exe
supplied in noblink1.zip.)

Installation
------------
Copy noblink.exe to any directory.
Start Program Manager and open the group you want to launch No Blink from. 
("StartUp" is recommended). Now select File|New to create a new item and use 
the Browse command to locate NOBLINK.EXE. No Blink is now ready to run.
No Blink has no icon and is not visible in the task list when running.
Your only evidence that it is working is that your text cursor is rock
steady.

No Blink works with all applications which follow Microsoft's rules.
(Sadly this means that the caret in Word versions 2 and 6 will continue
blinking, albeit slowly - Microsoft don't appear to follow their own
rules: if you dislike blinking cursors why not ask Microsoft to provide
a "No Blink" option in Control Panel's Desktop.)
The Windows version of Tcl/Tk also breaks the rules in this respect;
however no blinking can be achieved by editing your *.tcl files.
(Contact me if you need help with this.)
