History:
--------

1.8     by Arkady V.Belousov <ark AT mos DOT ru> (some ideas by Alain M.
        <alainm AT pobox DOT com>, documentation proofreading by Mike Millen
        <mikemillen AT ukgateway DOT net> and Frank Pruefer <fp666 AT t-online DOT de>)
        - Bugfixes, heavy optimizations, some features
        - PS/2 mice were not found on some machines
        - Serial mouse reset reinforced (previously mouse froze in some cases)
        - Serial and PS/2 modules combined into one executable
        - For Mouse Systems protocol CTMOUSE now installs at first existing
          COM port, not at COM1 which may be absent
        - Added support for serial Microsoft Whell/Intellimouse protocol,
          wheel interpreted as third button
        - Auto resolution behavior corrected and is now default resolution
        - INT 33/001F now doesn't restore interrupts (and CTMOUSE doesn't
          unload resident part) if INT 33 or INT 10 are intercepted by
          another program
        - Cursor drawing much enhanced and bugfixed: finished INT 33/0010
          support and video page change detection for graphics drawing;
          single video registers handled in RIL more accurately; cursor
          is drawn only when cursor shape is inside screen ranges
        - Some ill-behaved applications (like Norton Commander or Klondike
          by Eduardo Martins) call INT 33/0001, 0009 and 000A in loops; to
          prevent cursor flickering the cursor is now redrawn only if its
          position or pattern is changed
        - Added workarounds for Pentium and PS/2 BIOS, Logitech MouseWare
          Windows driver, Turbo Pascal IDE and Nicemouse utility
          peculiarities
        - Messages for English extracted into separate message file
        - Added Brazilian, Portugese, German, Italian and Hungarian message
          files
        - Ordered errorlevels returned for each event
        - Added command line option to cancel run if mouse services are
          already present
