I too got hold of xmouse, but was dissappointed, no source :-(

So, in a reading frenzy, I found what I needed to know about getting a mouse
to work in modeX.  The code is in assembly and works only with Xlib02
which was posted recently.  The only thing is that I ported Xlib to large
memory model (I think?, I'm not much of an assembly programmer).  But
I'm FAIRLY sure it will work with the posted version (i.e small model)

So, I'll post the source as soon as I upload it.
