-
- (1). Notes on Setup for DOS and Windows
-
-
- **********************
- * PATH Modifications *
- **********************
-
- If you have an older version of the Genius mouse driver or other mouse
- driver in your system, delete it from your system and use a text editor
- to remove the old directory from the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file.
-
- ************************
- * CONFIG Modifications *
- ************************
-
- If you have an older version of the Genius mouse driver - GMOUSE.SYS
- in your CONFIG.SYS file, the Mouse Setup program will eliminate it
- and save the original CONFIG.SYS file as CONFIG.BAK.
-
- ************************************
- * Operation from Floppy Disk Drive *
- ************************************
-
- If you don't have a hard disk, you can load the DOS Genius mouse driver
- and DOS Genius Control Panel into the memory from the Floppy Disk Drive
- and operate from there. A minimum of 256K RAM is necessary.
-
- *************************************
- * Using COM3 or COM4 in your system *
- *************************************
-
- If you connect your mouse on COM3 or COM4, there may be problems running
- Windows under enhanced mode on some PCs. Our Windows Mouse driver doesn't
- fully support these 2 communication ports. However, the Genius Mouse operates
- fine under DOS using these two COM ports.
-
-
- We therefore suggest that you connect the mouse through COM1 or COM2 if a
- serial port is used and operation under Windows is desired.
-
-
-
- =========================================================================
-
- (2). Modifying GMOUSE.INI
-
- The GMOUSE.INI file contains the program information and the default
- settings of the Genius Mouse driver program. Any changes to it will affect
- the operation of your mouse. It is recommended that only advanced users
- make changes directly to this file. Before making any changes to the file,
- always first save it as a backup file in case of mistakes, i.e. GMOUSE.BAK.
-
-
- *************************
- * Acceleration Profiles *
- *************************
-
- The acceleration parameters determine the relative speed of cursor movement
- for set distances of mouse movement within a standard amount of time. On the
- existing four acceleration profiles, speed is slowed for shorter distances
- and increased for longer distances. Thus, when operating your mouse, you
- get more precision in short distances, but are still able to move the cursor
- across the whole acreen with a quick, short movement.
-
- Acceleration curves work by establishing multipliers for different distances
- covered in a single unit of time. The multiplier adjusts the speed set under
- the Sensitivity setting. Thus the multiplier may be 0.5 for a short distance
- to slow the movement speed by one-half, but for a long distance the
- multiplier may be 2.0 thus doubling the movement speed. Here is a sample
- profile.
-
- [AccelerationProfile2]
- Label=Cruising
- Movement=1 26 42 61 80
- Factor=1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 1.50
-
-
- You may make changes directly to the existing four acceleration curves. In
- each set of figures the upper line contains the number of "mickeys", which
- for input devices is unit of distance per unit of time. The number of mickeys
- cannot exceed 127. Below each mickey designation is the multiplier. Be sure
- to leave at least one space between each number. Each line must have less
- than 80 characters. Do not use tabs, use the space key.

-
- (3). Miscellaneous Items
-
-
- ******************************
- * Loading GMOUSE.INI settings *
- ******************************
-
- The settings in the GMOUSE.INI file are read by both the DOS and Windows
- Mouse drivers only when they load. Similarly, the Windows Mouse Control
- Panel reads the settings in GMOUSE.INI only when it is started.
-
- Saving changes permanently from any of the Mouse utilities updates both
- the settings in driver memory and the settings in the GMOUSE.INI file.
- However, if you edit the GMOUSE.INI file manually, your new settings
- will not be recognized by either mouse driver until it is reloaded.
-
- To make your changes to GMOUSE.INI settings take effect in DOS:
-
- 1. Save the edited GMOUSE.INI file.
- 2. Restart your computer.
- Or,
- Remove the Mouse driver from memory by typing GMOUSE U;
- then reload the Mouse driver by typing GMOUSE.
-
- To make your changes to GMOUSE.INI settings take effect in Windows:
-
- 1. Save the edited GMOUSE.INI file.
- 2. Exit Windows.
- 3. Restart Windows.
