Sometimes you have this unpleasant feeling that your efforts won't give you fame and imperitury glory.
It could be the case of this smart fix for "Cottage of Leopold the Cat" (or, bettr, the italian version "Le Avventure di Leogatto"), a game that probably hardly anyone knows and misses.
But neverthless, the game engine has a little flaw (a bad check on ShowCursor system call) that makes it loop forever at startup and requires a small fix implemented in a new DxWnd tweak.
So, what do you think? Will this hack get me a first class hacker definition? Will it be remembered forever? Ah, life is so hard and ungrateful, I don't think so ... ;)

P.s. if you have children the game is referenced in adventurelegends, but the game solution probably will be harder than expected. The tweak will be available on net release, unless anyone needs it sooner.
