- I would like to have some pointer on how to deal with a program
- using a mouse that work on a PC, partly on another and not on a third.
-
- I use the Zortech 3.00r4 mouse package which is MS compatible.
- I think I can presume it is doing a call to int 33h.
-
- Usually, the program is working. I use the mouse in EGA mode and
- only the commands msm_init, msm_getstatus amd msm_term.
-
- In the machines where the system is usually working, I have a
- home made pull down menuing system and separate application area
- push button/edit field functions. The whole system is working
- good on my PC.
-
- But, on one colleague machine, the menus are working, some application
- functions too, but not all. I presume in that case the driver
- is returning a bad status value. That machine has a trackball
- instead of a true mouse device. Is this relevant?
-
- On another machine, the cursor stays at the center, like when there
- is no driver at all. I checked and that machine has a MSCMOUSE driver
- that I presume is from MS-C package. Is that driver not MSMOUSE
- compatible?
-
- Shall I remove all the msm_status calls and replace them with my
- own int 33h calls?
-
- Any help will be appreciated.
