I've noticed this as well. The behavior of setMousePointer() seems to 
have changed since about version 0.55 or 0.57.  The mouse pointer 
doesn't change when I call setMousePointer(Win,WaitPointer), but after 
processing files, the pointer changes (to an hourglass) when I call 
setMousePointer(Win,NULL).
