i. About Future.Library Cursor Editor (FLCE)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FLCE came about when I started using Future.Library and found that there were
no really good mouse editors.  Actually, I only found one that was very buggy
and used a Timer function to refresh the screen, which made the program very
jumpy.  =/  So came the birth of FLCE.  I didn't spend any real time with the
GUI.  It is plain, simple, and to the point.


ii. System Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The only thing you need is a computer that will run Future.Library and you DO
need a SVGA monitor capable of viewing 640x480x256.  It's not an extremely
large program, so just about anything should run it.


iii. Registration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ha ha ha.  This is freeware.  Use and enjoy!


iv. Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mouse is used to draw.  LMB (Left Mouse Button) plots, and RMB (Right
Mouse Button) picks a color up.  (Note: You don't have to be on the palette
to pick up a color, it will read anywhere on the screen.)

 Keyboard Commands:

 S   Saves the current cursor.  No period is necessary (or even accepted)
 L   Loads the cursor.  Again, no periods
ESC  Quits FLCE  (Note: There is no prompt, so be careful to save beforehand)
 T   Tests your current cursor
 R   Resets back to original cursor after testing
 ?   Turns Tips on and off (Text at the bottom explaining what everything does)

v. Conclusion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll be very honest.  I did not spend much time on optimizing the code or the
file format.  When saving, I use a For...Next loop to Print to a file.  Each
line is a number (Which is converted to a character code and combined for use
with Future.Library) and it reads 0 to 15, 0 to 15, X and Y respectively.  If
you would like to come up with a tighter file format, feel free.  I am not
giving the code out here, but I would be happy to send it if you are interested.
