-
- How To Run DOS Install
- ----------------------
- Before running Install, please make sure you have at least 20 file
- handles in your CONFIG.SYS. Add this line to your CONFIG.SYS if
- not already present:
-
- FILES=20
-
- Then put the diskette that has the DOS utilities into your floppy
- drive, and at the command prompt from your floppy drive, type:
-
- INSTALL
-
- followed by carriage return. Follow the instruction on the screen
- to complete the installation.
-
- DOS Mouse Driver, Release 6.24
- ------------------------------
- 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.
-
- The DOS driver is made up of the following three 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.
-
- If you happen to have a MOUSE environment variable in your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT that does not point to the installed mouse directory,
- e.g.:
-
- SET MOUSE=DRIVE:\DIFFERENT_PATH;
-
- please remove it. It could cause the DOS mouse driver not being
- able to find LMOUSE.INI if it is set incorrectly.
-
- 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 The GEM Environment
- -------------------------------------------------
- When installing GEM, select the option for Logitech Mouse or
- choose the selection for "MOUSE.COM".
-
- 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 4.0 Shell Program
- ---------------------------------------------------
- IBM DOS 4.0x installation places a new AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the
- root directory and a DOSSHELL.BAT file in the DOS files directory.
-
- In order to use your mouse with the mouse driver in memory, you
- must modify both the AUTOEXEC.BAT and DOSSHELL.BAT files.
-
- 1) With a text editor, open the DOSSHELL.BAT file and find this
- statement:
-
- "@SHELLC /MOS:[driver].MOS/TRAN/COLOR/ etc...."
- (where [driver] can be PCIBMDRV, PCMSDRV, or PCMSPDRV)
-
- 2) Delete "/MOS:[driver].MOS" from the "@SHELLC" statement. Leave
- the rest of the statement. The modified statement should now
- look like this:
-
- "@SHELLC /TRAN/COLOR/ etc...."
-
- 3) Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
- Include the C:\MOUSE sub-directory in the PATH statement. Load
- MOUSE before you execute DOSSHELL.
-
- This lets you use your Mouse both inside and outside the Shell for
- DOS 4.0x.
-
- 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 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.
-
- Loading The Mouse Driver High
- -----------------------------
- In case you have problems trying to load the mouse driver high, you
- can load the driver without the VESA video overlay with the
- following command:
-
- For DOS 5.x: 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 22K.
-
- 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.
-
- Some load high parameters, such as QEMM386's /H (Happy) parameter,
- may not allow the LVESA.OVL to be loaded. You will receive the
- following message if LVESA.OVL is unable to load:
-
- 'Error: Not enough memory to load the video module'
-
- Other load high programs may not allow LVESA.OVL to load at all. If
- this occurs and LVESA.OVL is required, the mouse driver must be
- loaded in low DOS memory.
-
- DOS Mouse Driver 'Type' Command Redefinition
- ------------------------------------------
- The DOS mouse driver type command (e.g. MOUSE BUS) has been
- redefined. This command causes the DOS mouse driver to search
- first for the specified mouse (e.g. BUS board mouse). If
- this mouse is not found, the mouse driver will search for any
- other type of mouse that is connected to the computer. Valid
- commands are:
-
- MOUSE SER - search first for a COM port mouse
- MOUSE BUS - search first for a BUS board type mouse
- MOUSE PS2 - search first for a PIX port mouse
- MOUSE INP - search first for a Inport type mouse
-
- The type command can only be used on the first loading of the DOS
- mouse driver.
-
- 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 |
- |___________________|_____________________________________________|

- | Serial (C Model) | Mouse Systems Mouse |
- | Serial (M Model) | Microsoft Serial Mouse |
- | Bus mouse | Microsoft Bus mouse Model 199 |
- |___________________|_____________________________________________|
-
- If you intend to use your mouse with OS/2 version 2.0, please refer
- to the following table for the proper selection of mouse to make
- during the installation of OS/2 2.0:
-
- _________________________________________________________________
- | Mouse used | Selection made during OS/2 2.0 installation |
- |___________________|_____________________________________________|

- Take note of the drive and path name of Windows (e.g. C:\WINDOWS.)
- This will be used during the DOS Mouse Software installation.
- Windows drivers will be loaded during the DOS Mouse Software
- Installation.
- To install these drivers, choose the entry "Install Mouse Driver
- for Windows 3.x" in the Main Menu and follow the on-screen
- instructions.
-
- Note: If you did not install the Windows mouse driver under
- Windows 3.0 then you would have multiple "Logitech" entries in the
- mouse selection menu. To solve the problem, choose the entry
- "Install Mouse Driver for Windows 3.x" in the Main Menu and follow
- the on-screen instructions.
-
- Using Your Mouse with an Integrated Trackball
- ----------------------------------------------
- This feature lets you use a serial type mouse with a computer
- that has an internal integrated trackball.
-
- If your computer has an integrated trackball but you want to
- use an external serial mouse, you can use it without having
- to change your system's configuration, as follows:
-
- Under DOS, load the mouse driver with the following command:
-
- MOUSE SER
-
- Under Windows, M Series serial mouse users do not need to edit
- SYSTEM.INI.
