I'm sorry I didn't get back to thank you sooner. My alligators started snapping unexpectedly.
I have clipped both of your messages to my personal wiki and will definitely use the information. Your first post is worthy of publication. I hope you might consider doing so, along with an update for the Gursor Maker package. I can not be the only one looking for such information. :-)
Yes, I am the same Marbux. Investigating and writing about office software interoperability issues from a legal perspective is among my retirement hobbies. Another is studying the evolution of telecommunications code, which I think offers a more reliable method of studying the history of computing than focusing on the hardware, which comes and goes without much continuity in the historical records. I hope to publish articles on that subject in the future.
I mostly lurk on this list because I was stuck on Windows until I retired and haven't yet developed enough expertise with Linux to be helpful very often. I may never do so because my computing needs are so much less complex since I retired. But it sure is nice to work with a far more stable platform.
I'm currently working on persuading Mepis to play nice with a new Intel motherboard with an Intel dual-core processor. Most of the issues I've managed to trace point to the hardware side and an Intel/AMI BIOS that isn't ready for Linux prime-time. I think I goofed by giving Intel another chance after all these years will probably switch to a motherboard that supports an AMD dual-core processor or an AMD i586 processor.
Again, thanks for the great help, Tim.

Oh...while curious about the matter, I stumbled across
http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/Gursor_Maker
which is a cursor-editor that may obviate jumping through many of
the hoops in my previous mail. They have RPM and DEB packages,
as well as the source availble, so you should be able to install
it on your platform of choice.
