When I didn't have time to look up how to do it on Win98, I just
created a batch file c:\djgpp\bin\pure.bat

===== 8< =====
@echo off
smartdrv
(your DOS mouse driver)
===== 8< =====

Before I run any DJGPP programs from pure DOS, I, run pure.bat.

BTW, the easiest way to get pure DOS in Windows ME is to keep pure DOS
on a boot floppy and put the path to smartdrv into its autoexec.bat.
