Two Mouse Cursors in Windowed MS-DOS Program, FAX.EXE

• Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

When the application FAX.EXE (supplied with Intel's SatisFAXtion fax board) is displaying an incoming fax in an MS-DOS window, two sets of moving mouse cursors are displayed.

MORE INFORMATION

Intel's SatisFAXtion fax board comes with a MS-DOS-based program called FAX.EXE. This program allow you to send files and documents as faxes, and to view incoming faxes on the screen. When a fax is viewed on the screen, the program switches into graphics mode (640 x 480 monochrome). A graphic mouse cursor appears along with Windows-like scroll bars.

When a fax is displayed in a window, moving the mouse causes the Windows arrow cursor to move as well as FAX.EXE's mouse cursor. The two cursors move at different speeds; only the "native" mouse cursor is the one that works. The application's mouse cursor doesn't move across the whole window; only a few square inches of the upper-left corner.
