BIOS, backward and forward text searches and

SETBLNK.ZIP Yes 13101 11/14/1990
SetBlink is a 1k TSR that lets you set the
cursor blink rate and shape. This is the best
cursor control utility we have seen, although
it still has several bugs in it. You can
easily select from 18 different cursor shapes
or create your own and then switch between
the new cursor shape and the old PC cursor at
any time. It is intended mainly for word
processing and it "goes away" when using a
spreadsheet program. Bugs: When we selected a
non-blinking block cusor, it left a "trail"
in column one when doing a DIR in DOS. When
we toggled back to what was supposed to be
the "normal" system cursor, we instead got a
cursor at the "top" of the line. (Rosetta
Stone Systems) (Reg.Fee: $25)
