 A friend of mine has a small problem with the useage of Msoft mouse drivers...

How do you write a routine in pascal ( or C...asm...etc ) which will be called
by the standard callback function of the driver ( when a button is pressed, etc
), and which can still address the programs global variables, the problem is
that, when the routine is called, DS points at the MOUSE DRIVERS data segment,
and I at least could not think of an easy way to address the programs global
data, which will NOT be at a fixed address :-(

Also, he said that there is a problem with the mouse in all 256 color VGA modes
( under TP 6.0, using BGI's ), any comment ????

any replies appreciated...
