;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Simple package to convert the block cursor into a bar cursor. In
;; overwrite mode, the bar cursor changes back into a block cursor.
;; This is a global minor mode.
;;; Installation:
;;
;; 1. Place bar-cursor.el somewhere on your Emacs load path.
;; 2. Add (require 'bar-cursor) to your .emacs
;; 3. Add (bar-cursor-mode 1) to your .emacs
;;
;; bar-cursor.el is also available in Melpa. See
;; https://github.com/melpa/melpa#usage for information on using
;; Melpa. Then you can run M-x package-install bar-cursor to install
;; it.
;;; Usage:
;;
;; M-x `bar-cursor-mode'
;; Toggles bar-cursor-mode on & off. Optional arg turns
;; bar-cursor-mode on iff arg is a positive integer.
;;; Credits:
;;
;; The basis for this code comes from Steve Kemp by way of the
;; NTEmacs mailing list.
;;; Comments:
;;
;; Any comments, suggestions, bug reports or upgrade requests are
;; welcome. Please create issues or send pull requests via Github at
