+
+;;; Commentary:
+;;;
+;;; For those who are annoyed by the mouse pointer obscuring text,
+;;; this mode moves the mouse pointer - either just a little out of
+;;; the way, or all the way to the corner of the frame. 
+;;; To use, load or evaluate this file and type M-x mouse-avoidance-mode .
+;;; To set up permanently, put this file on your load-path and put the
+;;; following in your .emacs: 
+;;;
+;;; (cond (window-system
+;;;        (require 'avoid)
+;;;        (mouse-avoidance-mode 'cat-and-mouse)))
+;;;
+;;; The 'animate can be 'jump or 'banish or 'protean if you prefer.
+;;;
+;;; For added silliness, make the animatee animate...
+;;; put something similar to the following into your .emacs:
+;;;
+;;; (cond (window-system
+;;;       (setq x-pointer-shape 
+;;;	     (eval (nth (random 4)
+;;;			'(x-pointer-man x-pointer-spider
+;;;			  x-pointer-gobbler x-pointer-gumby))))
+;;;       (set-mouse-color (cdr (assoc 'mouse-color (frame-parameters))))))
+;;;
+;;; For completely random pointer shape, replace the setq above with:
+;;; (setq x-pointer-shape (mouse-avoidance-random-shape))
+;;; 
+;;; Bugs & Warnings:
+;;;
+;;; - THIS CODE IS FOR USE WITH FSF EMACS 19.21 or later.
+;;;   It can cause earlier versions of emacs to crash, due to a bug in the
+;;;   mouse code. 
+;;;
+;;; - Using this code does slow emacs down.  "banish" mode shouldn't
+;;;   ever be too bad though, and on my workstation even "animate" doesn't
+;;;   seem to have a noticable effect.
+;;;
+;;; - There are some situations where it doesn't do what you expect,
+;;;   notably when there are long wrapped lines in the buffer.  Since
+;;;   there is no low-level command for finding point's position
+;;;   on the screen, it can fail to move the pointer when on such a line.

+;;; Mike Williams, Denis Howe, Bill Benedetto, Chris Moore, Don Morris,
+;;; Simon Marshall, and M.S. Ashton, for their feedback.
