Subject: DR-DOS mouse driver? please!
Precedence: bulk

Why didnt Caldera include a basic mouse driver with DR-Dos? I would really
like to see a basic mouse driver (M$ mouse compatable) that would use the
DPMS to load into XMS.

I know that all new mouses (mice?) come with there own driver, but I
volinteer for an organization that takes donations of used computers,
repaires them and passes them along to low income families with children. So
we end up with a lot of older stuff like 286's, 386's, etc. and dont have
any funding execpt for donations to buy new hardware and software.

We are using DR-Dos 7.02 and New Deal School Suite, Newdeal gave us a great
deal an a multiuser licence, seems M$ is too big and powerfull to donate
anything to a worthy cause like ours or to give us a price break (and we are
in Washington state!) New Deal being a GUI requires a mouse, we have several
and could use a freeware mouse driver so as not to "step on M$ toes" by
using there mouse driver without paying for it.
