Is there a standard set of routines in C for the MS mouse? Right now I have mouse routines for Zortech C (they are included with the compiler) and for Turbo-C (as published in Turbo-Technix). While both sets provide a reasonable amount of flexibility, they make the C code non- portable between IBM compilers. As a more general question, would it make sense to have a library of C functions that would allow source to be portable across a large number of IBM compilers? This would make it possible to do one port of software rather then a new port for each compiler. The recent port of GNUPlot is an example of this. Since the port was done to Turbo-C, I would assume that owners of MicroSoft-C would have to make some changes to get it to compile. (I don't have MS-C so I don't know how much work this entails) (Also, I haven't tried to compile GNUPlot on Zortech, but from knowing the differences between Flash Graphics (FG) and BGI it would be a little bit of work).
