- Thanks for the info.

- With the mouse driver revision 8.10 the /E switch does indeed work but it
- is very very flakey. I could not get the /U switch to do anything useful
- although it did not complain that the switch was invalid.
-
- With the mouse driver revision 8.20a there is now a horrid message
- "Mouse driver installed. Parameters /U, /E, /X no longer supported."
- when you try to use either the /E or /U switch. I wonder what MicroSoft are
- upto.
-
- The initializing mouse driver is now so large that something desperatly needs
- to be done like allowing it to initialize itself in low memory and copy the
- small TSR part into some free UMB area.
