Is it possible to import Windoze cursors into Puppy 1.0.7? I use a shareware cursor set called 'Xana' cursors that are highly visible. They are not animated wrigglers, just better sizes/shapes/colors.
I use them because my vision is SO bad... If I could Puppyize them, that would make me VERY happy!
Thanks!

Can I import special cursors from Windoze to Puppy 1.0.7?
No, but Puppy has its own Cursorpack:

If you still have problems to see them, I might add another one.
Please tell me, what exactly you need (colors, size in pixel).
Maybe one of these?

The Puppy basic set is - well - basic. There's no size adjustment, they're small, and the White cursor, which looks nice on one 'puter with Puppy, looks different (smaller & grey) on a (newer & faster) computer.
The Yellow Dot cursor set looks pretty good. I d/l the tar file & I can extract it with pup zip - but don't know what to do next. Can you help me?
Do a Google for 'Xana Cursor' & d/l the set onto a spare Windoze box if you have one. The main pointer is bigger, and shades from orange to yellow, so it's easy to see over many different backgrounds. It is also like an arrowhead without the 'tail' that would attach to the shaft of the arrow - so it looks cleaner. I recommend Xana for all Windoze boxen.
Thanks!

Install my Dotpup.
Extract the yellowdot-tar.gz to /tmp
Create a folder /root/.icons/yellowdot (to see /root/.icons , click on the "show hidden files"-icon in ROX).
Copy the folder /tmp/yellowdot/cursors to /root/.icons/yellowdot/cursors.
Delete /tmp/yellowdot
Run my Cursor-selector, choose the new entry "yellowdot", and restart X.

Yo, Mark - your generosity is overwhelming! 
No BS - what an awesome amount of feedback... I d/l the new dotpup cursor pack (burp). The 'whitelarge' does fine for my needs - it has a black outline, and light shadow effect, so it also works against white/light colors.
So I've got what I need, and other folks can hopefully do a search for 'cursors' to find this thread. But looking forward, if this info, along with links for your new packages, could be made into an "Add multiple cursors to Puppy" howto... Well, I think it would help many other folks, and cut down on redundent questions.
Many thanks!
