   DOS Utilities
  =============

   DOS Mouse Driver, Release 6.12
   ------------------------------
   Mouse support for standard VESA super VGA mode has been added for
   this release.  The modes supported are modes 100(hex) through
   10C(hex), and mode 6A(hex).

   The appropriate files will be automatically installed if the mouse
   installation program detects a VESA BIOS extension, release 1.00
   or higher, or a VGA adapter.

   Starting from the 6.12 release, the DOS driver is made up of the
   three following files:

   1) MOUSE.COM           : mouse driver
   2) LMOUSE.INI          : mouse driver configuration file
   3) LVESA.OVL           : video module for the DOS driver

   These files must be in the same directory.  However, the
   configuration file and the video module are not required -- if any
   one (or both) is missing, MOUSE.COM will still load, but super VGA
   video modes will not be available.  As for MOUSE.SYS, VESA super VGA
   modes are not supported at this time, and LMOUSE.INI and LVESA.OVL
   are not required.

   The configuration file is automatically created by the installation
   program for your specific hardware configuration.  We recommend that
   you do NOT modify it. In case you change your video adapter, we
   suggest that you reinstall the mouse software to update the
   configuration file.

   How To Upgrade Your Mouse DOS Files
   -----------------------------------
   If you are upgrading from a previous version of Mouse software, we
   recommend that you install your Mouse Software in the same directory
   as your previous version.
   The INSTALL program replaces the old software in the MOUSE directory
   with the new versions.

   How To Install Your Mouse For The GEM Environment
   -------------------------------------------------
   When installing GEM, select the option for Logitech Mouse or
   choose the selection for "MOUSE.COM".

   How To Install Your Mouse For AutoCAD 10 And Above
   --------------------------------------------------
   When installing AutoCAD, choose the Microsoft serial or Bus mouse
   selection.  This selection will use the mouse driver in memory.

   How To Install Your Mouse For DOS 4.0 Shell Program
   ---------------------------------------------------
   IBM DOS 4.0x installation places a new AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the
   root directory and a DOSSHELL.BAT file in the DOS files directory.
   In order to use your mouse with the mouse driver in memory, you
   must modify both the AUTOEXEC.BAT and DOSSHELL.BAT files.

   1) With a text editor, open the DOSSHELL.BAT file and find this
      statement:

        "@SHELLC /MOS:[driver].MOS/TRAN/COLOR/ etc...."
        (where [driver] can be PCIBMDRV, PCMSDRV, or PCMSPDRV)

   2) Delete "/MOS:[driver].MOS" from the "@SHELLC" statement.  Leave
   the rest of the statement.  The modified statement should now
   look like this:

        "@SHELLC /TRAN/COLOR/ etc...."

   3) Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
      Include the C:\MOUSE sub-directory in the PATH statement. Load
      MOUSE before you execute DOSSHELL.

   This lets you use your Mouse both inside and outside the Shell for
   DOS 4.0x.

   How To Install Your Mouse For DOS 5.0 Shell Program.
   ----------------------------------------------------
   The DOS mouse driver should be launched prior to the DOS 5.0 DOS
   Shell and not launched within a DOS box.  Also Windows 3.x should
   not be launched from a DOS 5.0 DOS Shell DOS box.  This may result
   in loss of mouse functionality under Windows 3.x.

   Loading High Command.
   ---------------------
   In case you have problems trying to load high the mouse driver, you
   can load the driver without the overlay with the following command:

   For DOS 5.x:      LOADHIGH MOUSE NOVCI

   How To Install Your Windows 3.x Drivers.
   ----------------------------------------
   Windows 3.x should be on your system prior to the DOS installation.
   Take note of the drive and path name of Windows (e.g. C:\WINDOWS.)
   This will be used during the DOS Mouse Software installation.
   Windows drivers will be loaded during the DOS Mouse Software
   Installation.
   To install these drivers, choose the entry "Install Mouse Driver
   for Windows 3.x" in the Main Menu and follow the on-screen instructions.
