I tried DRMOUSE quickly last night on my Windows 98 (Beta 3) box...  It
reports No Mouse Detected from within a DOS box, but if you exit to MS-DOG 7
it spews out version information and informs me that my mouse was detected
as a Microsoft Mouse on COM1: with all the features working properly.  (I
have the original, glossy plastic ergonomic mouse from MS - the serial
version with the PS2 adapter).  For some reason,  I can use M$'s MouseMan to
set the cursor to the larger sizes - is DRMOUSE meant to support this?

I think 'No Mouse Detected' means it can't access the COM or PS/2 ports, or
that there's already a mouse driver at INT 0x33 - any
confirmations/suggestions?

Anyway, the driver's performance is admirable... It works with all my mouse
driven programs, including one VGA 640x480 one I wrote that misbehaves if
you use anything but a genuine M$ driver.  Great driver Caldera, pity about
the terse error messages ;).  Is this driver freely distributable, or just
with a copy of DR-DOS 7?
