All rights reserved. Usage: MCS -I -R (-RT/-LT) -NT -K -M -50 -U -I = Install the Mouse Control Simulator -R = Reverse Left/Right movement Top/Bottom -RT/LT = Up/Down movement RighT/LefT side -NT = Don't test if driver is present -K = K? - ask for a key to replace the default Escape Kabcd - enter a fixed replacement value with 4 numbers -M = Mabcd - enter a mouse mask value with 4 numbers -50 = Go directly into 50 line mode -U = Unload the Mouse Control Simulator Common information; =*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*== There are many programs out there, which do not have any support for a mouse... it may be your favourite program ! But it isn't updated anymore or the develloppers don't want to add it... this is what the two MCC utilities are for, MCS is a Mouse Control Simulator, which allows you to get that mouse control you've been waiting for..., MTC is an-other story... Saesoft (R) Mouse Test Controller - Version 2.00 Copyright (C) Saesoft International 1983 - 1991. All rights reserved. Resident MTC Already Installed. (oops, wrong message, have you installed it already ?) =*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*== Ever noticed that progams who do support a mouse have a little delay when they are started ? no ?! well then skip this... Yes ! then welcome, so did we, what happens is that if a program with mouse support gets started, it will test to see if there is a mouse driver present, some mouse drivers take quite a bit of time before they return this 'test call' and tell if it's there, load up MTC and stop this useless delay, MTC will decide if there is a mouse and if so, will capture these 'test calls' and will return them immediatly without this annoying delay... =*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*== MTC doesn't have any other usage then to install it, MTC can not be unloaded by itself as MCS can. (MTC can be loaded high) MTC must be loaded BEFORE any multi tasker ! MCS's commandline commands and what they do; =*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*== -I => Install the Mouse Control Simulator in memory. -R => Reverse the 'go left/right movement' from Top to Bottom. (*** registered version only ***) 3 (R) Mouse Control Simulator & Mouse Test Controller - v2.0 (C) Saesoft 1991 -RT/LT => Reverse 'Up/Down movement' from right side to the left side of the screen. (*** registered version only ***) -NT => Don't test if a mouse driver is present, better yet, use MTC to avoid a possible annoying delay... -K => K? - Ask for a key to replace the default Escape, with "K?", MCS will ask you to enter a key or combination to replace the default right button sided ESCape key function. -Kabcd => - Enter a fixed replacement value with 4 numbers, same as above, but MCS will replace the default key with the one you entered with this option, this consists of 4 numbers in 2 hex numbers, first use the WHATKEY.COM utility to find out what the numbers are for the key you want to use, then use this number to enter it here. (*** registered version only ***) -Mabcd => - Enter a mouse mask value with 4 numbers, left 2 are color, right 2 are the mouse caracter. (hex) (*** registered version only ***) -M only will enable the default mouse caracter. -U => - Unload the Mouse Control Simulator from memory. The current setup and some examples of usage; =*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*== | | --┌────────────────────────────┐-- --│----------------------------│-- Top line on screen and right │ | │ mouse button = go left or right │ Text_1 | │ │ | │ │ | │ │ word-two | │ "Usage: MCS -I" │ | │ │ | │ │ | │ └────────────────────────────┘ | | Right line on screen and right mouse button = go up or down Any other place on screen and right mouse button = ESCape key or replacement key. If the mouse pointer is pointed on a number from 0 to 9 or a letter from a to z and A to Z, a press on the left button will result in the leftmost caracter of that number or word. However! If the pointer points DIRECTLY to a number, a function key will be the result. Example; press left button on a 1, will result in a F1... 0=F10 4 (R) Mouse Control Simulator & Mouse Test Controller - v2.0 (C) Saesoft 1991 However2 ! If the pointer points DIRECTLY to a '┘,└,╚,╝,╜,╛,╙,╘' caracter, an ESCape will be the result ! (bottom corners box escape out methode) If the mouse pointer isn't pointed on a number or letter, then a <enter> will be the result, and if the pointer is hidden. -R => Reverse the 'go left/right movement' from Top to Bottom. =*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*== | | Right line on screen and right ┌────────────────────────────┐ mouse button = go up or down │ | │ │ | │ │ Text_1 | │ │ | │ │ | │ "Usage: MCS -I -R" │ word-two | │ │ | │ │ | │ --│----------------------------│-- --└────────────────────────────┘-- Bottom line on screen and right | | mouse button = go left or right -RT/LT => Reverse 'Up/Down movement' from right side to the left side of the screen. =*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*== | | --┌────────────────────────────┐-- --│----------------------------│-- Top line on screen and right │ | │ mouse button = go left or right │ | Text_1 │ │ | │ │ | │ │ | word-two │ │ | │ "Usage: MCS -I -LT" │ | │ │ | │ └────────────────────────────┘ | | Left line on screen and right mouse button = go up or down Notes; =*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*== As soon as MCS detects that a program is asking if there is a mouse driver present, MCS will disable itself ! you will have to unload MCS and reload it again. The default mouse mask is 0F04, 0F = White pointer in high intensity and black background, 04 = Caracter value 04 which is a diamond. (all values are in hexadecimal) 5 (R) Mouse Control Simulator & Mouse Test Controller - v2.0 (C) Saesoft 1991 Why does the mouse pointer droppes occasionally ? =*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*== Consider a program which has support for a mouse, this program 'knows' when the mouse is used or not and therefor is able to hide the mouse pointer when its not used. Consider MCS which does NOT 'know' when the mouse is used or not it's only a simulator, we have done a lot to avoid the possibi- lity of the pointer being visible and other activity at the same time, but you simply can't account for all... that's why it may occasionally happen for the mouse to drop a pointer.
