Quite simply, this program will provide a nice user-interface for the
mouse and a batch file. When BATMOUSE is executed, it will look for
an environment string "BMOUSE=00000". This environment string can be
broken up into three distinct parts:
BMOUSE=0000
--
The first two zeros are the ROW coordinate, 00 - 24. This
coordinate is limited to this range even though the screen
may be 50 rows high.
--
The second two zeros are the COLUMN coordinate, 00-79. This
coordinate is limited to this range. However, if the screen
is only 40 characters wide, the highest this coordinate can
be is 39.
-
The last zero is the button status, 0-n. This status is
limited to the number of button combinations possible on
the mouse. (Two buttons = 3, three = 7).
Once a button is pressed, BATMOUSE returns control to the operating system
with the environment string modified.
BATSMALL, also provided, will allow the cursor to be used on a 8x8 character
set, such as the VGA 50 line mode.
Please note that this explicitly modifies the MASTER environment in both
DOS 3.x and 4DOS 3.02. Using this with any other DOS version may return
unexpected results, or even a trashed environment. Feel free to test it
however.
