- In a previous version (7.04), MS distributed mouse.sys and mouse.com,
- but I was never able to find any discussion as to why would someone use
- one vs. the other. With Windows 3.1, there's mouse.drv and mouse.com
- (version 8.20). If I assume correctly, the .drv is used by Windows
- and .com is for DOS use. Can someone confirm this and/or point me to
- anywhere in the documentation where the differences are explained?
