- Look on the Windows disks. Disk 4, I think, contains a file called
- MOUSE.CO_. This is a Microsoft Mouse driver in compressed form. Decompress
- it with "EXPAND MOUSE.CO_ MOUSE.COM". Use this for the IBM mouse: I think
- it's identical to the MS mouse in terms of output.
-
- FWIW, somewhere on the Windows disks there's also LMOUSE.CO_ for Logitech
- fans.
-
- Also, set the following in SYSTEM.INI:
-
- [NonWindowsApp]
- MouseInDosBox=1
-
- This gets you mouse input to Windowed DOS applications (as opposed to
- fullscreen).
-
- I may be wrong about the disk: if so disk 1 has a manifest that will point
- you to the right disk.
