Forget it. These functions have been provided for mouse handling in
MS-DOS applications. While these functions _may_ work under Windows,
it's extremely bad style to use Turbo C/C++ under Windows. There have
been numerous discussions about the reasons, so here's a very short
excerpt of the main reasons:
- Both compilers have been written for a different OS
  twenty years ago, they simply don't fit the Windows world.
- They both do not understand correct (i.e. ANSI compliant) code.

Get rid of these compilers, except if you intend to write MS-DOS
applications (and even I don't see any reason to do so nowadays). In
the Links section of this group you will find a couple of download
links for Windows compliant compilers; use one of these.

And furthermore, if you're really interested in Windows programming,
get a copy of Charles Petzold, Programming Windows; expensive but
worth every cent.
