MOUSE.PRG
---------
All you know the mice, connected with a serial port of a PC. This
driver gives you the possibility to use them on an serial port of
your ST, TT or Falcon.
Installation:
------------
Start GENMOUSE.PRG and select the port your mouse is connected to and
it's protocol. (Note: The Falcon-Port is Modem 2.) Place the driver
at "C:\AUTO\" - and restart your computer (or start it from the desk).
You can use both, standard mouse and serial mouse, at the same time.
For trying out some port's and protocol's you have to save and start
'mouse.prg' for every new selection, cause this datas will only be
set by starting this program.
The 'Options'-part changes immediately the behaviour of an previously
installed driver, so one can try out the reaction of the buttons.
There is a simple linear mousespeeder and a slider that affect the
behaviour of the pointer.
The checkbox 'left-handed' swaps left for right button of your mouse.
The 'busmouse'-option is for the exotic users of X-window under Mint.
If this checkbox is select the middle mouse button act like the
middle button of a Busmouse working on a TT.
There are different possibilitys for the use of
The middle mouse button:
-----------------------
- Simulate a doubleclick of the left button by pressing em once.
- Whyle you hold em douwn and use the left mouse button, the shift-key
is simulated - so one can select some elements of a list (some files
in a desk window).
- On newer versions of the desk one can move and rename a file whyle
copy it whith drag and drop and holding down the 'alt' or 'control'-
key. Now you can do that whithout grabbling for the keyboard, but by
klicking the middle button whyle dragging files holding down the
left button.
Klicking once simulates 'control' (move). Klicking twice simulates
'alternate' (rename). Another klick makes the desktop think one hold
down 'control' + 'alt' (move and rename). The fourth click stops all
that nightmare.
Trouble: > My middle mouse button won't work <
-------
The middle mouse button isn't supported by MS-mode. (One more reason
for hating microsoft.) So if you find a switch at the bottom of the
mouse set it to PC-mode. Another (not so comfortable) way is holding
down the left mouse button whyle switching on your computer, cause
serial (not logitech) mice start working in MS-mode normally.
A number of mice i saw, own no switch, but when you open it, you can
find the place for em. (there must be three not used holes in a row,
in some cases you can read >SW< or so near this place).
Connecting the middle pin and one of the of the others will teach
PC-mode to the mouse - try it out (but at your own risk).
If someone know a way to switch mouse-protokol by software, please
kontakt me.
