Microsoft Mouse driver v8.20 - command line switches - Summary

I recieved some very prompt replies to my post, all via email. I include
the text from a couple of them below. 

It seems that the driver only supports the switch /Y - which is explained 
below. The driver contains text stating:

		/i /z /c /b invalid

		Parameters /U /E /X no longer supported

Also the driver repeats all its instructions in 9 languages - English, 
French, Dutch, German, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, Portugese, and Italian.

My warmest thanks to everyone who responded to my post.

If you find out, let me know.  Microsoft issues those mouse drivers with
just about everything, and doesn't include any documentation.  I've
figured out that 
/Cx => on comx
/Sxx  => sensitivity from 10 to 100
/Hxx
/Vxx  => horizontal and vertical sensitivity, if you want different
values.

The strange thing is that the Microsoft driver sometimes (rarely) loads
and runs with my Chicony trackball, and sometimes it doesn't.  Also, have
you ever looked inside the driver?  It has instructions in about 20
different languages.  Strange.  I have no idea how to get them to work.
Setting country= doens't do it.  Not that I really need my mouse to send
me error messages in Norewigan.

There are no switches for the 8.20 ver of MOUSE.COM except for the "/Y" one
which means "no hardware cursor". This switch is needed on some Video 7
and a few other graphics cards because the card uses a graphic cursor
(sprite) instead of the standard block cursor in DOS programs. This messes
up mouse support for DOS programs under Windows.

To control the mouse program make changes in the MOUSE.INI file, normally
contained in your C:\WINDOWS directory. This file controls the mouse program.
