Well, you can make the cursors using the command line tool Rez. This compiles text files into resources.

eg, here's a .r file with a lot of CURS in it:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/widget/src/mac/nsMacWidget.r

However, as you'll see, that's hardly intuitive!

There's a payware resource editor for OS X here:

There may be other editors I can't find right now.

The real question though, as this is cocoa-dev is:

"why don't you want to use NSCursor with custom TIFF images instead of oldschool CURS resources?"

From Panther onwards you can even go bigger than 16x16 and use color...

I need some CURS resources for use on OS X.

As far as I know, dev tools do not allow to prepare these
resource type. More over, classic is not installed and
my PM 7500 is in the cellar, thus I can't use ResEdit.

So, how do I create CURS resources on OS X?

Maybe someone could send some standard cursors like

- crosshair
- magnifier class

and such like standard cursor resources.
