When the Mac is busy doing something time-consuming, it puts up
a wrist-watch cursor.  I would like to use this cursor, but have
not been able to capture it by a screen snap-shot, because the
snapshot event is queued until after the reason for the watch
has gone away.  (Not surprising).  Although it does not seem
to difficult to design this thing, can anyone save me the trouble
by sending me the bit pattern for this cursor?
(Striving for consistency, I would like my cursor to be exactly
the same as other software is using.  If I guess, this probably
won't happen.)

A different question:  How does one get updates/supplements to the
Inside Macintosh documentation.  We bought Inside MAC a few months
ago; today my program needed to know the time.  I found reference
to a routine GetTime in one of the programs that has been distributed
on the net, but could find no mention of this anywhere in Inside
Macintosh.  Or any other description to time, clock, etc?
There must be updated documentation coming out of Apple.  How
does one keep up?

Try to get the application rmover (it comes with the Macintosh software
supplement).  You can use this to "cut" and "paste" resources from one
application to another.  The wristwatch cursor may exist in the system, but
if it doesn't find an application to copy it from.

One buys the Software Supplement.  Makes sense: in order to know
how to program the Mac, you buy Lisa disks.

In addition to the Lisa disks and some MAC stuff that just about
everyone should have by now, you get the Inside Macintosh updates,
and a copy of the real Inside Macintosh, if Apple can ever figure
out what they put in there machine.  (The ROM hasn't changed,
the System File hasn't changed since May.  Why do we have to
wait until now to find out how to use GetTime?)
