When I purchased my Logitech mouse a couple of years ago, it came with documentation (on disk) about how to use the mouse with high level languages including Modula-2/86, Turbo Pascal, Microsoft C, and even Basic via assembly language routines. The Logitech mouse, from what I understand, is a Mouse Systems mouse compatible. I believe it will also emulate a Microsoft mouse. In the user's manual, it recommends calling Logitech's bulletin board for the latest list of languages supported. I believe the following excerpts from the read.me file on one of the software disks contains the information that can help you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOGIMOUSE Electronic Information To report experiences and problems about the Logimouse software and hardware, you can now call our Vax system using a modem. It accepts both 300 and 1200 baud rates (not compatible with Racal-Vadic). Log as the "mouse" user. This system will also provide new sources for LOGIMENU as they become available (we will be happy to publish those that you send us). (415) 364-7057 Login: mouse For more information, see your dealer, or call Logitech at (415) 365-9852 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please note that I cannot guarantee that this number is still active, as I have never called it. If you still need more information, I will consider emailing you a copy of the relevant documentation included on my software disk, but I would prefer not to do that as I'm not sure it is completely legal. _ _ +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ |_ ,_ . _ |_} _ _ ,_ _ _ _ _ ,_ | ear@wpi.wpi.edu | |_ | | |_ | \ |_\ _> | | | |_| _> _> |_' | | | ear%wpi@wpi.edu | --< A real engineer never reads the instructions first! >-- +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+
