Since the pointing stick is supposed to do the same things that a mouse
does, I'd be surprised if ordinary mouse drivers did NOT work with it.
If your computer has a spare serial port, you should be able to use an
ordinary mouse. Any cheap one such as Logitech First Mouse should be ok.
If the Cute Mouse Driver doesn't find it automatically you may need to use
a command-line parameter in your autoexec to tell it which port your mouse
is on. (CTMOUSE /? for details)
Definitely upgrade to the latest revision of CTMOUSE (1.8 with EXE dated
1/1/01, or try the experimental version that comes with Arachne.)
