The easiest and most compatible way it to use mouse driver. Mouse driver
has interrupt calls for getting mouse state (it also has many other
features). To get information about mouse drivers, it would be a
good idea to get a interrupt list or some other information file.

Try to get inter32a.lzh, inter32b.lzh and helppc21.lzh files
from nic.funet.fi.
