I think your basic requirement is to upgrade legacy (DOS) source code to support mouse. The source code might be in gwbasic, or TC(old C complier)
You have to follow the following steps for the same: a. Identify the portions of code that are ANSI compatible and portions of code that are platform (o/s) specific. b. Port the platform specific code to modern compiler / interpret, you might have to replace old APIs with the newer one. c. Then add the mouse specific API's to the code. But for this you have to be first conversant with the new versions of the language, since the there is an architectural difference between the underlying platform (o/s). Windows O/s is a typical message passing architecture where as DOS was interrupt driven(this is not the only difference there are many other huge differences). Pick up a sample program in VC just to print a "Hello World" in a window and you will come to know what I mean to tell you. Read a quick tutorial for win32 programming (or if you wish MFC programming) and you will become a better judge of the situation.
