For some programs I have written, people are asking for a mouse interface,
and I would like to have that, too.

What is the typical way this kind of thing is done?  Do programs actually
trap the serial signals sent by the mouse itself, or do they depend on the
int 33h functions?

I notice the int 33h functions mostly deal with a row and column, and I
assume this refers to the existing video mode.  Can the mouse drivers
handle all the video modes at least through to 1280x1024 in terms of
knowing correctly the number of columns and rows?  Or do you HAVE to use
functions 7 and 8 to tell the driver?

Are there any already written mouse interfaces for C program?  I would need
to have the kind that do not wait for events (since input can come from the
mouse or the keyboard or other places in unpredictable order).  Something
that just interfaces to the int 33h functions might be sufficient if I can
get all the questions answered (here or by experimentation, etc).
