	I am interested in writing a program in Turbo C that is able to use a 
mouse. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find anything decent in any of the
books I have looked in (the only solution I have seen is to read the data
straight from the serial port).
	I figure that it will invlove installing interupt handlers that
look at the interrupt vectors hooked by the mousedriver, but I have not done 
anything like that before and am a little apprehensive on how to go about it.
	Can anyone out there point me in the direction of a book to read,
or even better, some C source code (such as something on simtel etc)
showing me how do use the mouse?
