I am trying to run Arachne on a 333 Pentium machine running DOS 6.22.  This
machine has a touch screen and mouse capabilities.  The mouse works fine,
but when I try to use the touch screen I have some problems.  For example if
the pointer is in the upper left corner of the screen when I first start
Arachne and I touch in the middle of the screen the pointer does not jump to
the point underneath my finger.  If I drag my finger all the way to the
right of the screen the pointer will move to the right, but it ends up about
in the middle of the screen.  If I drag my finger all the way back to the
left then the pointer stops at the edge and ends up underneath (or close to
underneath) my finger.  If I drag right again the pointer follows close to
my finger all the way across.  If the pointer would just jump to underneath
my finger on an initial touch I think everything would be alright.

When I run the Arachne setup.bat and select XMS and VGA, the Pointer is
right under my finger all the time.   But when I press the button to "Try
selected Graphics Mode"  I get an error message "Unable to initialize video
mode - Please run setup.bat".

Has anyone else tried using a touch screen with Arachne before?  I am using
the Touch Base drivers (www.touch-base.com).   

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in Advance,

James
