About

MouseMove, by Chris Cho (c)2000 March 21, 2000 v1.0 What does it do? After launched, it will move the mouse to random positions on the screen at predetermined time intervals. The program can be quit by pressing any key or clicking the mouse on the program window created. Why is it useful? Certain services such as messaging clients or X Window servers may cause you to idle out after a period of inactivity. Thus, by moving the mouse continuously, you no longer have to worry about being logged out. The program works in the foreground as well as the background. I'm guessing it could also be used as a prank. This was not the intended usage. Version 1.0 Notes: This is the first public release of this program. My knowledge of the Macintosh Toolbox has just begun to develop, please excuse any bugs that I did not find. I plan to develop this program further, so stay tuned. Bugs: I did not implement a refresh of the screen, so the program information and updates information will disappear if the program window is covered up. The program is currently PPC only because of some compatability issue that I plan to research. Please send me any reports of bugs that you find. Features in Progress: -68k compatibility -User-specified time intervals -Cleaner interface -Daemon application
