Does anyone out there know how to get raw mouse movement from the
Mac?  As it is now, the mouse is converted to absolute screen coordinates
BEFORE you have a chance to do anything with it.  If the cursor is in
the lower left hand corner, and you move the mouse down & left, NO movement
is detected from your program, because the cursor hasn't moved!  Either
1) a way to fudge the current cursor position (reset it to the middle of
the screen) to 'figure out' what the movement was (yuck); or
2) find where the REAL raw mouse input is kept, and read that; or
3) install your own mouse routine.

Has anyone done this yet?
