 DOS Utilities
 =============

  DOS Mouse Driver, Release 6.20
  ------------------------------
   Mouse support for standard VESA super VGA mode has been added for
   this release.  The modes supported are modes 100(hex) through
   10C(hex), and mode 6A(hex).

   The appropriate files will be automatically installed if the mouse
   installation program detects a VESA BIOS extension, release 1.00
   or higher, or a VGA adapter.

   Starting from the 6.20 release, the DOS driver is made up of the
   three following files:

   1) MOUSE.COM           : mouse driver
   2) LMOUSE.INI          : mouse driver configuration file
   3) LVESA.OVL           : video module for the DOS driver

   These files must be in the same directory.  However, the
   configuration file and the video module are not required -- if any
   one (or both) is missing, MOUSE.COM will still load, but super VGA
   video modes will not be available.  As for MOUSE.SYS, VESA super VGA
   modes are not supported at this time, and LMOUSE.INI and LVESA.OVL
   are not required.

   The configuration file is automatically created by the installation
   program for your specific hardware configuration.  We recommend that
   you do NOT modify it. In case you change your video adapter, we
   suggest that you reinstall the mouse software to update the
   configuration file.

  How To Install Your Mouse for DOS
  ---------------------------------
   Install the mouse software for DOS if you use mouse-based
   DOS applications from a DOS prompt.

   The mouse installation program copies the mouse drivers and
   programs to your hard drive. To start the installation program,
   follow these steps:

   1. Insert the Mouse/Trackball diskette in drive A.
   2. At the DOS prompt, enter A:\INSTALL to start the installation
      program.
   3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
   4. After installing the mouse software, run the tutorial, MTUTOR,
      to learn basic skills for using a mouse or trackball.

  How To Upgrade Your Mouse DOS Files
  -----------------------------------
   If you are upgrading from a previous version of Mouse software, we
   recommend that you install your Mouse Software in the same directory
   as your previous version.
   The INSTALL program replaces the old software in the MOUSE directory
   with the new versions.

  How To Install Your Mouse For AutoCAD 10 And Above
  --------------------------------------------------
   When installing AutoCAD, choose the Microsoft serial or Bus mouse
   selection.  This selection will use the mouse driver in memory.

  How To Install Your Mouse For DOS 5.0 Shell Program
  ---------------------------------------------------
   The DOS mouse driver should be loaded prior to the DOS 5.0 DOSShell
   and not loaded within a DOS box.  Also Windows 3.x should not be
   launched from a DOS 5.0 DOSShell.  This may result in loss of mouse
   functionality under Windows 3.x.

  How To Install Your Mouse For OS/2
  ----------------------------------
   If you intend to use your mouse with OS/2 version 1.X, please refer
   to the following table for the proper selection of mouse to make
   during the installation of OS/2:

    _________________________________________________________________
   |    Mouse used     | Selection made during OS/2 1.X installation |

  Mouse Control Panel for DOS
  ---------------------------
   The DOS Mouse Control Panel lets you finely tune how your mouse
   or trackball behaves within DOS applications. Use the panel to set
   the sensitivity level, ballistic effect, drag-lock effect, cursor
   enhancement options, and button swap. For information on these
   features, refer to the EZ Help Online Library.

   To use the DOS Mouse Control Panel, enter CLICK at a DOS prompt
   to activate the panel. You can then display the control panel on
   any text-mode screen by using hotkeys. Press and hold down the
   CTRL and ALT keys on your keyboard, and click the right and left
   mouse buttons simultaneously to display the control panel. On an
   EasyPoint trackball, click the top and bottom buttons. On a COMPAQ
   Trackball, click the middle button instead of the top and bottom
   buttons.

  MOUSE Command Parameters
  ------------------------
   Another way to tune how the mouse or trackball behaves within DOS
   applications is to use MOUSE command parameters. These parameters
   modify the function of the mouse and the way the screen cursor
   responds to mouse movement. Use the parameters when loading the
   mouse program in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or from the DOS prompt.

   For information on the parameters, refer to the following:

   o  MOUSE command help. At a DOS prompt, type MOUSE /?
      and press Enter. This displays a summary of the parameters.

   o  EZ Help Online Library for mouse information. It includes a
      detailed summary of each parameter.


  Mouse Commands For Serial Mouse (C Model Only)
  ----------------------------------------------
   By default, your mouse driver configures your serial mouse to the
   following parameters:
      Serial Port (COM)          1
      Baud Rate               2400
      Ballistic                Low
      Sensitivity                5
      Report Rate              150
      Number of buttons          3
      Protocol           MM Series

   Note: the serial port default 1 is also available on the M device.

   If your application requires you to change the setting(s) of your
   serial mouse (C model) for one or more of the above parameters, use
   the following commands:

   MOUSE [#]
      Loads the mouse driver into memory and configures it to
      COM port, where # is either 1, 2, 3, or 4.

   MOUSE [baud rate]
      Loads the mouse driver into memory and configures the
      baud rate for the mouse to 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600.

   MOUSE [report rate]
      Loads the mouse driver into memory and configures the
      report rate for the mouse to 10, 50, or 150 (continuous).

   MOUSE [protocol]
      Loads the mouse driver into memory and configures the
      protocol for the mouse to 5B, MM, or RE.

      5B: Five byte packed binary
      MM: MM series
      RE: Relative bit pad one

   MOUSE ?
      Displays the current mouse driver and button settings.

   MOUSE INIT
      Resets the mouse driver to its initial settings.

   MOUSE PC
      Sets the mouse driver to emulate an MSC Tech. PC Mouse.

  Loading The Mouse Driver High
  -----------------------------
   If you encounter problems using the LOADHIGH or RUNHI
   command to load the mouse driver in high memory, try loading
   the mouse driver without its overlay by using the NOVCI parameter.
   For example:

      LOADHIGH MOUSE NOVCI

   For the mouse driver to load in high memory it must have enough
   memory to load straight from disk.  The mouse drivers size on disk
   is at least 40K.  The room needed to load from disk into high
   memory must be at least 40K.

   Once the driver has initialized it frees a large portion of
   memory.  The remaining size in memory is 17K to 20K.

   All programs that are loaded high must be loaded into memory
   with their full size intact.

   Sometimes the loading order can make a difference.  If the
   mouse driver is loaded first and smaller programs are loaded
   last then the driver would load high properly.

  Installing a Mouse for Windows
  ------------------------------
   Install the mouse software for Windows if you want to use
   a mouse or trackball with your Windows applications. The mouse

   installation program copies the Windows mouse drivers and Mouse
   Control Panel to your hard drive. To run the installation program,
   follow these steps:

   1. Start Windows.
   2. Insert the Mouse/Trackball diskette in drive A.
   3. From the Program Manager File menu, choose Run.

  The Windows Mouse Control Panel
  -------------------------------
   The Windows Mouse Control Panel lets you finely tune how your mouse
   or trackball behaves within Windows applications. Use the panel
   to change the tracking speed, double-click speed, button swap,
   cursor enhancement, drag-lock assignment, button assignment,
   and orientation. Note, the drag-lock assignment and orientation are
   available only for certain mouse types. For more information on 
   these features, refer to the EZ Help Online Library or F1 help in 
   the Mouse Control Panel or select HELP in the Windows Mouse 
   Control Panel.

   To start the Windows Mouse Control Panel, double click the
   Control Panel icon in the Main group box. Then, select the
   Mouse/Trackball icon from the Control Panel group box.


  The Windows Cursor Enhancement Panel
  ------------------------------------
   This new utility is intended for users of notebook computers with
   black-and-white LCD displays or high-resolution monitors.  Click
   the "Cursor" button in the Windows Mouse Control Panel to launch
   the Cursor Enhancement Panel.

   Select one or more of the available options to make the cursor more
   noticable.  You can change: color (black or white); orientation
   (left or right); size (small, medium or large); cursor tracking;
   cursor trails, shrink delay and speed sensitivity.  Please use
   Windows help for more information.

   If your version of Windows and your Display Driver support Mouse
   Trails this cursor enhancement feature may be enabled by selecting
   the "Mouse Trails" check box in the Cursor Enhancement Control
   Panel.  Please refer to the cursor enhancement addendum for more
   information.

  Installation With The Norton Desktop Shell
  ------------------------------------------
   If you run the Winstall program and the Program Group box is dimmed,
   cancel the installation. From the Norton Desktop window, choose
   Preferences from the Configure menu. Enable the Quick Access on
   Startup option. After you click OK, choose Save Configuration from
   the configure menu. You can now restart the installation.
   In Windows 3.0, you will access the Mouse Control Panel by opening
   the group in which you installed it and by double clicking on its
   icon to open it.
   For Windows 3.1 and above, the Windows Mouse Control Panel is
   accessed through the Windows Control Panel found in the Main group.

  Windows Files Update
  --------------------
   At the end of the installation, the Windows SYSTEM.INI and SETUP.INF
   files are updated to reflect your newly installed software. The
   original version of these files are respectively saved to SYSTEM.OLD
   and SETUP.OLD.

  Bus Mouse Conflict
  ------------------
   If you have a Bus Mouse with its jumper set on IRQ 2, you may
   experience compatibility problems when starting Windows. The
   problem can be solved by changing the IRQ selection jumper on
   your Bus board to another interrupt not in use.

  Installation Conflict
  ---------------------
   Depending on your configuration, you may experience problems when
   Windows tries to restart after the installation. In this case, you
   should restart your system. This is only an installation problem and
   should not affect the normal use of the mouse software.
