- WHISKERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
-
- To install Whiskers, copy all of the files to the directory you want
- Whiskers to be in. Then use the File Manager or Program Manager to start
- Whiskers, using the Whiskers.exe file. Whiskers.exe uses another file
- (included with Whiskers) named Whiskers.dll. The Whiskers.dll is a
- Dynamic Linked Library. Be sure to keep the Whiskers.exe and Whiskers.dll
- in the same directory. If you have an older version of Whiskers that used
- a file named Rodent.exe, please delete the Rodent.exe file. Whiskers
- no longer needs it.
-
- To run Whiskers, double click on its icon in the Program Manager or the
- Whiskers.exe file in the File Manager. Another Whiskers icon will appear
- at the botton of your screen. At this point Whiskers is running and the
- mouse button clicks are being captured and processed as the default set-
- tings. To view or change the default settings, see the "Programming the
- Mouse Buttons" section below.
-
- PROGRAMMING THE MOUSE BUTTONS:
- 2 and 3 Button Mice
-
- Click once on the Whiskers icon at the bottom of your screen and the sy-
- stem menu will pop up. Select the Buttons... command and a dialog box
- titled "Whisker's Mouse College" will appear. The Right and Middle button
- key combinations have been programmed with default key values. You may
- change any of these defaults that you wish. For example, to program the
- Right button to be the DELETE key, turn the checkbox on, then click on the
- down arrow of the listbox that is in the "no shifts" row and in the Right
- button column. Scroll the listbox until you find the DELETE entry and
- then select it. Now press the OK button.
-
- To program the Shift+Right button combination, follow the same steps as
- above, but make your selection in the listbox in the "shift" row and right
- button column. Follow these steps for programming each of the combina-
- tions. Repeat these steps for programming the Middle button on a three
- (3) button mouse.
-
- MIDDLE BUTTON SIMULATION:
-
- Whiskers can simulate a Middle button on a two (2) button mouse. To do
- the middle button simulation press and hold down the right mouse button
- and then QUICKLY click the left mouse button. The left button will ac-
- tivate whatever key you have assigned to the "no shift middle button". If
- you find that the click rate is too fast or too slow for you, the click
- rate can be changed in the Control Panel, Mouse section, Double Click Rate.
- To do the other middle button key combinations, press and hold down the
- right button and any of the shift keys and then click the left button.
- When you let up on the right button, the mouse will revert back to its
- normal state. To program the simulated Middle button, just follow the steps
- for programming the middle button of a three (3) button mouse.
-
- The Shift Left click sequence may be assigned to the right or middle but-
- ton, but in some applications it will not work. For example, in Excel,
- Word for Windows and Notepad the Shift Left click assignment to the right
- or middle button will produce the approperiate extended selection. How-
- ever, in the File Manager, which uses Shift Left click for extended file
- selection, Whiskers will not work. This problem Whiskers not working with
- some applications is caused by the way those applications were written and
- there is no way for Whiskers to get around this.
-
- The Left Double click sequence may be assigned to the right or middle but-
- ton, but in some cases it will not work correctly. For example, in the
- Program Manager if you right click (right button is programmed to be Left
- Double click) on one of the group icons the group window will open, but the
- system menu will also appear. When you close the system menu, the control
- box (upper left corner) is in reverse video. This problem does not inter-
- fer with the left double click functioning properly. To correct the
- reverse video effect, just move the group window a little and the problem
- will correct itself.
-
-
- EXCLUSION LIST:
-
- Click once on the Whiskers icon at the bottom of your screen and the
- system menu will pop up. Select Exclude... and a dialog box will appear.
- Follow the instruction in the dialog box for excluding certain programs
- from Whiskers attention.
-
- You can also turn Whiskers ON and OFF manually by double clicking on the
- Whiskers icon at the bottom of the screen. Or Clicking once on the icon
- at the bottom of the screen and then selecting Whiskers ON or OFF from
- the system menu.
-
- TO EXCEL USERS:
-
- A Rodent.exe has been marketed separately in the past as an Excel add in.
- If you have purchased the Rodent for Excel, just delete the Rodent.exe
- file and any macros that you may be using. Whiskers is a complete re-
- placement for the Rodent.
