I recently bought a new computer (80386 based) to replace my TI Pro(which
the kids are now using).   As a result, I have a couple of needs:
1) I moved my Mouse Systems mouse from the TI Pro to the new computer but
   the software I had to support it was all TI specific.  I have located
   the IBM/Clone driver on a system at work and that is fine on the new
   computer but there was also a menu compiler to add mouse support to
   other programs.  I haven't located an IBM version of the menu compiler
   and I need that also.  Is there any way I can get one short of buying
   another mouse?  Obviously someone could send me a copy but what are the
   legal ramifications of that?  I do own the mouse and I'll only use it
   on the new system.

2) My 14 year old son wants to do his themes, reports, term papers, etc.
   on the TI Pro with the word processor that we have for that system and
   then print them on the new computer since the printer also went to the new
   computer.  Does anyone know the structure of Samna Word III files?  I need
   to write a program to read these files and print them on a system where
   I don't have Samna running.

thanks,

George
