driver? Even though my windows disks came with the mouse driver, there is no
documentation for the driver in my windows manual.
Thanks,

I think the problem is that mouse drivers are supplied by Microsoft as part
of Windows3.1 and DOS6.0 so we may have Microsoft drivers which we use
without having a Microsoft mouse.

Exactly !! And I can't find documentation on the switches in either the
DOS 6.0 or Windows 3.1 manuals.

Mainly because to use certain features of Windows 3.1 and/or MSDOS 5 or 6,
a certain rev of the Microsoft mouse driver is required (and in Windows'
case, a certain rev of the Logitech driver). So the Personal Systems
Group (MSDOS & Windows) arranges with the mouse group to include workable
drivers as a courtesy to all the microsoft mouse customers out there.
In windows 3.1's case, a similar deal was made with Logitech.
Note, btw, the current msft mouse driver (shipped with the redesigned
mouse) is 9 - the driver in MSDOS 6 is 7.

If it works, good.

There's no feature in MS-DOS 6 which requires 8.2. The mouse folks
aren't terribly happy to have us "giving" their software away in
MSDOS as it is. It's 7.04, to be precise.

Well, when I boot up it says it's 8.2! I don't recall whether this came with
MS-DOS 6 or MS-Windows 3.1 but who really cares. If I purchased this driver,
and it appears to me that I have, I think I deserve to be told what the
bloody thing does. And don't tell me that it is just a courtesy to proud
owners of Microsoft mice because if that were true your install program
wouldn't install it on my computer.

Version 8.2 ships with Windows 3.1. Following is an excerpt from
a message I saved about mouse command-line switches.

here's another one:
mouse off
to unload the driver. works if that's the last tsr you loaded and you
loaded it into conventional rather than upper memory.

I think it turns the driver "off", but it's still resident in RAM.

To remove from memory at least the logitech drivers require the
following command line:
C:\> mouse out

Mea culpa, it's 8.2....

I've tried hundreds of combinations (e.g. -h, /?, /help ...) Nothing worked.
GOD bless ya - and I sincerely hope you get hit by the rainbow tomorrow! :)

CTMouse. (theoretically all you need is a driver for the specific mouse you
have and that could be done in say 100 bytes; but I haven't managed it!)

Bah, and indeed, Humbug.
