Then users of those apps will have to live with the risk.
If you enable wheel support, your keyboard can crash or
ctmouse can fail to detect the mouse at all (only affects
ps2 and usb wheel mice, not com port wheel mice). Which
is why I recommend not to enable the wheel on boot disks
with fixed configuration...

I believe you can get in contact with several users of
4dos, arachne and mpxplay. So it would be nice if you
could collect a bit of feedback from them! Questions
are: Does wheel mode of ctmouse 2.0 and 2.1b3 work for
them? Which versions work with Arachne? Why (not)?
In versions where wheel mode does not work, does at
least the non-wheel mode work for 1.9, 2.0 and 2.1b3?

Thanks for testing :-)

Eric
