38.0. "Powerboat Prompt?" by EBBV02::CASWELL () Thu Jun 09 1988 11:20

    
         Has anybody out there created a cute little prompt of a powerboat
    for their terminal yet! I have the one for a sailboat, but several
    of my friends haver powerboats and would like it as a prompt.
    
                                             Thanks,

        Here is the one for a powerboat, and one that I created for
        a waterskier (not a whole lot of space to work with).

38.2Just a little push, please!EBBV01::CASWELLMon Jun 13 1988 07:076
    
              How do I extract and use these? I am not familiar with
      the format your using.

    How do you make it work?
    
38.5For workstation onlyBAJA::THORSTEDThis space for rent...Mon Jun 13 1988 15:5523
	
	It is MACRO code for 
	a program that changes the mouse cursor on a workstation.  
	I assume that is what the author was asking about in the 
	original note, since you can't have a graphics cursor on 
	a VT terminal.  I got the program for changing the 
	mouse cursor from the VWS notes file.  If you
	have a workstation and want to use the program, I've copied it
	to BAJA::SYS$PUBLIC:*PATT*.*.  Just copy it over and
	@PATT.COM.  It will take quite a while to compile and link.
	If you have the MENU utility installed (I think its in the
	VWSUTIL kit -- also referenced in VWS notes), use 
	CURSOR_PATTERN_MENU.COM to invoke it.  It will build a window
	with a menu of available cursors.  If you don't have MENU,
	you can just issue the CURSOR command, but you need to type
	in the pattern name.  You can get a list of available patterns
	by issuing the CURSOR command with an illegal pattern.  I
	added an entry in my UISBG.DAT that references it so that I
	can change cursors from my main menu.  The powerboat, 
	waterskiier, and a zillion other cursors are already in the 
	PATT.MAR file.

    I think  the  boat  is  great!  Do you have a program for the
    waterskier?

    re:4
    
    	I don't know if your question was answered but in case it wasn't,
    here is what I did:
    
    Notes> EXT BASS_PROMPT.COM
    
    Exit out of notes and edit the file to remove everything up to the
    first command line, then exit the editor, and type :
    
    $ @BASS_PROMPT
    
	Hope this helped..............RAYJ    
    
    BTW - I do not have a workstation

                             -< Powerboat Prompt? >-

Ok the prompts are great but does anyone have one for an open 
sport fisherman? Almost like an express cruiser??
