I am posting this message for a friend at Waterloo who does not have access
to usenet.  Please send replies to him direct since he won't be able to see
them otherwise.  Thanks.  Now for the question.

He would like information on how to program a serial mouse (microsoft I think).
Program fragments in C and/or Pascal would be especially welcome, but any
sort of information on how to access a mouse from a program would be
appreciated.  Are there any books on this subject?
