Atari: I understand that it's not your fault that GEM is drain-bamaged and can't detect _EITHER_ the right button _OR_ the left button in the same evnt_multi call, but I have never yet seen a program which uses evnt_multi to detect both buttons at the same time (Interlink uses this, but I'm sure they've hacked their own VDI mouse handler or something. How about _CHANGING_ evnt_multi so that if it sees a 3 in the button mask, it returns if either button or both buttons are pressed. Then the application can check to see which it got. Sound okay? At least do this for TOS 1.6 so that TT software can use both buttons effectively without hacks! Pretty please!!! (While you're at it, the TT could probably do with a few more windows for that nifty 1280x960 mode too.) Just to be positive, I have Rainbow TOS, and I _LOVE_ it!!! Wouldn't go back for anything. Fine job! --Steve Whitney
