For anyone who would like a block cursor routine,
mail me your email address and I'll send you a small
assembly language program to perform this function. It
requires to be assembled and linked.

In case you would like it on floppy, mail me a 5 1/4 or 3 1/2
floppy with a self addressed self stamped return mailer and
I'll send the source and the executable.

This routine set the cursor to a block on each tick of the timer.
Works with all word processors, spreadsheets, communication programs
(Kermit also) and even PC-NFS.

The block cursor is disabled when an application sets the screen
to graphics mode. The block cursor is restored when the application
exits.
