> Thanks for the screen blanker – took a while to get it working…
I just checked whether the source code called in any non-standard files.
It doesn't, but I did notice a bit of hardware bashing in the routine that
blanks the mouse pointer:
BlankPointer
lea $00DFF000.l,a0
move.w #$0020,150(a0)
move.l #x32000,$00DFF140.l
; x32000 is a zero long word in chip memory
rts
Do you have any idea of a better way to blank out the pointer, and restore
it again when the screen unblanks? It's the restoring of the pointer that
had me stumped.

Yes please. I could do with a new blanker for the Amiga at work. It
doesn't have a hard disk, so short and simple code is an asset.
