I recently acquired the cmouse2.arc file, and recompiled the programs under Turbo C 2.0. Everything works fine, as far as I can tell, in 25-line text mode. My first question is, how do I support the mouse in the 50 line VGA text mode? cmouse2 doesn't seem to realize that the number of lines on the screen has changed, and the mouse cursor is restricted to the upper 25 lines. My second question: how does Norton generate a graphic arrow for the mouse cursor in text mode. It doesn't seem to be one of the ASCII graphics char- acters; does he alter the font? The Norton Utilities also support the mouse in 50 line mode, although the mouse cursor is a more normal "box". Thanks. tony acero acero@quads.uchicago.edu
