Has anyone developed a touch-screen driven system under Authorware for 
Windows?  Specifically, I am interested in Windows drivers for:
  Elographics
  IBM 8516
  MicroTouch
  Carroll Touch
  etc...
How do these drivers work?  Do they substitute for the mouse driver?  Do
you have any working systems that use these drivers?

Also, how is Windows 3.1 for an unattended kiosk system?  Are errors
trappable?  Can a system reboot itself if an application locks up?

I'd appreciate E-Mail at jjarrett@csugrad.cs.vt.edu rather than follow-ups,
as I don't read the news as often as I read my mail.

Thanks,
Jim Jarrett

I own a company which does touch screen development using the Elographics  
Intellitouch system.  The drivers for it essentially replace a mouse although  
you can get it to work without losing support for the mouse.  We use it under  
windows or any software which can use a mouse.  The touch screen itself is very  
good and with variable levels of sensitivity.  You can install it onto  
virtually any monitor although installation requires a good technical hand.

If you want some more info, write me at ALEE@SYSTEMS.WATSTAR.WATERLOO.EDU.
