History:
--------

1.9     by Arkady V.Belousov <ark AT mos DOT ru> (documentation proofreading by
        Frank Pruefer <fp666 AT t-online DOT de>)
>       - Heavy source cleaning and optimization
        - INT 33/001A and 001B functions maked dummy because their descriptions
          in RBIL 61 don't correspond with MS Mouse behavior and this causes
          cursor slowdown in some applications (for example, SimCity 2000)
        - For /Sn/P option combination INT 33/0024 now returns proper IRQ#
        - Removed flushing mouse data stream when detecting mouse type (this
          also prevents infinite loops in some cases under Windows)
        - Small mouse movements are now doubled also in auto resolution mode
        - Cursor redrawing routines now recall themselves if cursor was
          moved by some interrupt handler when they work; this should avoid
          differences between seen and real cursor status in some rare cases
        - LCR and MCR now preserved in UARTs for which no mouse is detected
        - Added additional check for PS/2 device presence (this prevents
          big delay at startup in some cases under Windows)
        - Added support for 286 and 386 CPUs
        - Added external assembler library
        - Added Dutch, French, Latvian, Polish, Slovak and Spanish message
          files
>       - Added /N command line option to force load CuteMouse as new TSR
        - COMTEST utility improved (and may be used to integrate IRQ auto
          detection into CuteMouse)

        by Donald G.Davis <dgdavis AT nyx DOT net)
        - Added closing for all local file handles before exit (this prevents
          leak from system handles pool when CTMOUSE called with redirected
          output and stays TSR in low memory)

        by Jason Burgon <jason AT jayman DOT demon DOT co DOT uk>
        - INT 33/0024 and 006D now report driver version 7.05 instead of 6.26
        - Implemented function INT 33/0031
        - CTMOUSE now handles INT 10/4F02 and some INT 10/11 video functions
          and correctly recalculates screen size, for example, when screen
          switched to 43/50 lines text mode

Additional notes.

1. In last edition in message files introduced some changes. Unfortunately,
   not all translators correct their message files accordingly, but all
   files remains full functional.

2. This edition is mainly optimization, but there also introduced new option
   and new HLL-like macroses.

3. Distributives will now present in both .ZIP and .RAR formats. .ZIP format
   is more traditional, but .RAR archives are much more compact, contains
   recovery record and authencity information.
