Yesterday on this list I mentioned the Cute Mouse Driver; low memory requirements, 
and freeware! Works pretty good, too. I can send you the file if you wish (it's only 
36K).

BTW, I do some of the same kind of work that you mentioned. What has Caldera told 
you about the status of DR-DOS 7.02's distribution? Most of the early language on its 
distribution is gone from the site now, and the license statement now reads only that 
it's for evaluation; 90 days for business, "a reasonable time" for everybody else. But 
the download page still lists all the options! I've been in email correspondence with 
someone at Caldera on this, but he never seems to be able to get a straight answer 
to give me! Early last week he said "I'll have an answer for you by the end of the 
week." Still no answer. I'd like to get something kinda definitive before starting to put 
DR-DOS on these machines.
