Hi HCL,
I found it in the Australian PC magazine (APC) DVD and
modified it in my desktop that works well.
Ah nice! I wonder whether we could get a copy of whatever
they write about us so we can put it on our press coverage

I don't know if this feature has been

Hi again,

I myself always use /y - I not like and not use mouse systems

Hi Arkady,
you are right, disabling the wheel only helps compatibility
in the PS2 case. But as said, I assumed that wheel usage in
DOS is rare, so /O (OPT_noWheel) affects both PS2 and COM
at the moment even though COM wheels seem to be no real risk
for compatibility... Would be easy to change
If you by default disable the wheel (and I think it is not good idea) you
definitely must write some mouse tool which can detect mouse. It is
necessary for FreeDOS installers. Installer calls this tool and found
whether mouse has or hasn't the wheel and than can adjust the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.

Arachne works with normal 2.xx Ctmouse.

Hi!
Want? Capturing first port is usually safe and not hurt, there only
one drawback - extra stub in memory.
COM port mice are the exception now, so allowing MSys mode means
that a mouse driver is loaded at a place where no mouse exists
(and no mouse will be connected to the COM port later

Hi Arkady,
/3 - force 3-button mode (for Microsoft and PS/2 mice only)
force wheel support (for PS/2 mice)
BTW, /3 option was used to force middle button support through L+R
extension. Now there remains only option.
If /3 has no effect now, it should be removed from /?
