1.0  MouseWare on the Go

     Whether you use a trackball on the road or a mouse back
     in the office, MouseWare can detect which mouse you are
     using and adjust the Acceleration, Mouse Speed, Button
     Swap and Orientation options according to your
     preferences. See the section "Using Your Mouse with a
     Built-in Trackball".


1.1  DOS/Windows Mouse Drivers

     Both the DOS and Windows mouse drivers now use a mouse
     configuration file MOUSEDRV.INI. This makes it possible
     for both drivers to save their mouse settings and to
     behave similarly. The settings can also be changed via
     the DOS Mouse Control Center (MOUSECC.EXE).

     Both the DOS and Windows mouse drivers can use COM3 and
     COM4. See the section "How to Attach the Mouse to COM3
     or COM4".

     The DOS mouse parameters BON, BOFF, BLOW, and BHIGH are
     no longer supported. Use the AOFF, ALOW, AMEDIUM, and
     AHIGH parameters. DLEFT is no longer supported. See
     MOUSEDRV.TXT for more information on the mouse
     parameters.


1.2  DOS Utilities

     In previous releases the DOS Mouse Control Center was a
     terminate stay resident (TSR) program named CLICK.EXE.
     In this release, CLICK.EXE has been renamed to
     MOUSECC.EXE, and is no longer a TSR.

1.3  Installing the Mouse for DOS 5.0/6.0 Shell Program

     The DOS mouse driver should be loaded prior to the DOS
     DOSShell and not within a DOS box. Also Windows 3.x
     should not be launched from a DOS DOSShell. This may
     result in loss of mouse functionality under Windows
     3.x.

1.4  How To Install Your Mouse For AutoCAD 10 And Above
     --------------------------------------------------
     When installing AutoCAD, choose the Microsoft serial or
     Bus mouse selection. This selection will use the mouse driver 
     in memory. Be sure the DOS driver is loaded.

1.5  OS/2 Support

1.6  Installing to OS/2 2.1 or OS/2 Warp

     Do NOT install this MouseWare disk into your OS/2 or
     OS/2 Warp operating system. Use the drivers provided on
     the OS/2 installation disks.

     OS/2 2.1 has 3-button support for Logitech serial and
     PS/2 mouse, and 2-button support for Logitech bus
     mouse. OS/2 2.1 should automatically detect and support
     the Logitech mouse connected to your system when OS/2
     is installed. If your Logitech mouse does not work
     properly after installing OS/2, you will have to
     manually select the proper Logitech mouse driver.
     Please follow these steps to correct the problem:

     1) Determine the type of mouse you are using. If you
        have a PS/2 or bus mouse skip down to part 2. If
        you have a Logitech serial mouse you need to know
        if it is M-series or C-Series. Look at the bottom
        of your mouse, if it says "CA", "CC", "CE" or "C7"
        then you own a C-Series mouse, otherwise, you own
        an M-Series mouse.

        e.g. C-Series
        MODEL NO. C7
        MODEL NO. CA

        e.g. M-Series
        M/N: M-CJ13
        M/N: M-MB11
        M/N: M-CR32
        M/N: M-MD15
        M/N: M-M30

       2) Double click the OS/2 System icon.
       3) Double click the System Setup icon.
       4) Double click the Selective Install icon.
       5) Select the Mouse option and press Enter.
       6) If you are using a PS/2 or M-Series serial mouse
          you may select any of the following: "PS/2 [tm]
          Style Pointing Device", "Serial Pointing Device",
          "Logitech M-Series Mouse".
       7) Select the entry "Bus Style Mouse" if you have a
          bus mouse.
       8) If you have a Logitech C-series mouse and are
          running OS/2 version 2.1 or OS/2 Warp, select 
          "Logitech [tm] C-Series Serial Mouse". If, you are 
          running version 2.0, choose "Logitech [tm] Mouse".


1.7  Windows NT Support

     Do not install MouseWare 6.43 in Windows NT. Use the
     Logitech mouse driver included in the Windows NT
     release. This driver has full support for all the
     Logitech pointing devices. To change the mouse
     settings, run the Windows NT control panel.


1.8 Windows 95 Support

    Do not install MouseWare 6.43 in Windows 95. Use the 
    Logitech mouse driver included in the Windows 95
    release. This driver has full support for all the
    Logitech pointing devices.

    To reinstall the Windows 95 Logitech mouse driver:

     1. Click on the Start button on the Windows 95 desktop
       and select Settings\Control Panel.
     2. Double-click the Mouse icon.
     3. Select the General page.
     4. Click on "Change".
     5. Click on "Show All Devices".
     6. Select Logitech.
     7. From the list, select the one that is suitable for
       your device, such as Logitech PS/2, Logitech Serial,
       or Logitech Bus.
     8. Click OK.
     9. OK to Restart the system to record your changes.


2.0   DOS/WINDOWS DRIVER TECHNICAL NOTES

2.1  Using Your Mouse with a Built-in Trackball

     If you have a PS/2 built-in trackball on your Laptop
     computer and you want to be able to use an external
     mouse connected on the serial port, you should make the
     following modification in the MOUSEDRV.INI file:

       [Global]
       ForcedConnection=Off
       SearchOrder=Serial, PS2, Bus, Inport

     If you have a SERIAL built-in trackball and you want to
     use an external mouse connected to the mouse port
     (PS/2) you should make the following modification:

       [Global]
       ForcedConnection=Off
       SearchOrder=PS2, Serial, Bus, Inport

     If you have a SERIAL built-in trackball and you want to
     use an external mouse connected to the serial port,
     identify which COM port is used by the built-in
     trackball and the external serial port (e.g. built-in
     trackball on COM2 and external mouse on COM1). You
     should make the following modification:

       [Global]
       ForcedConnection=Off
       SearchOrder=PS2, Serial, Bus, Inport
       PortSearchOrder=COM1, COM2

     Note: The external COM port should be listed first in
     the PortSearchOrder.

     If your notebook allows you to set the built-in
     trackball or the external serial port to COM3 or COM4
     with a non-standard base address and IRQ, then you
     should specify the values in the [COMx] section. For
     example, if your built-in trackball uses IRQ11 and a
     base address of 338 hex, add the following:

       [COM3]
       BaseAddress=338
       IRQValue=11


2.2  How to Attach the Mouse to COM3 or COM4

     MouseWare supports COM3 and COM4. For instance, if you
     are connecting your mouse to COM3 using IRQ11 and base
     address 338 hex, you should make the following
     modifications in the MOUSEDRV.INI file:

       [Global]
       SearchOrder=Serial, PS2, Bus, Inport
       PortSearchOrder=COM3, COM1, COM2
       Connection=Serial
       ConnectionPort=COM3
       ForcedConnection=Off

       [COM3]
       BaseAddress=338
       IRQValue=11

     Note: The COM port must be supported by your computer's 
     configuration. You must change the serial port hardware 
     configuration by following the instructions provided
     by the Serial I/O manufacturer or the computers documentation.
     The mouse driver cannot configure the COM ports for you. 
     Be sure the hardware settings you select are not in use by
     any other hardware device in the system. These values must 
     match those used by Windows' PORTS Control Panel. Be sure
     the SET LMOUSE=  statement correctly points to the location 
     of the MOUSEDRV.INI (usually in the C:\MOUSE directory)
     in the AUTOEXEC.BAT. See example below:

         C:\MOUSE\MOUSE
         SET LMOUSE=C:\MOUSE


2.3  Loading the DOS Mouse Driver into High Memory

     It is recommended that you do NOT use "LOADHI" or 
     "DEVICEHIGH" to load the DOS Mouse Driver, since the 
     driver will optimize the use of available upper memory 
     automatially, and thus freeing up conventional memory.
     The use of "LOADHI" or "DEVICEHIGH" with the Mouse Driver 
     could force the driver to consume conventional memory instead
     of available upper memory. The MOUSE.EXE 6.43 has its own memory 
     management and will load high automatically if there is
     at least 30K of free upper memory blocks (UMB's). If the
     Mouse driver fails to load high, try loading it earler in
     the AUTOEXEC.BAT or load it in the CONFIG.SYS after your memory
     manager as shown below:

     Device=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
     Device=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
     DOS=HIGH,UMB     
     Device=C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE


3.0   TROUBLESHOOTING

3.1  Installation Problems

     Before running INSTALL, please make sure you have at
     least 20 file handles in your CONFIG.SYS. Add this line
     to your CONFIG.SYS if not already present:

     FILES=20

3.2  Bus Mouse Conflict

     If you have a Bus Mouse with its jumper set on IRQ 2,
     you may experience compatibility problems when starting
     Windows. Some video boards (EGA, VGA) may use IRQ 2.
     The problem can be solved by changing the IRQ selection
     jumper on your Bus board to another interrupt not in
     use. Consult your video user's manual for more
     information.


3.3  Mouse Detection Problems

     Mouse connected to the Mouse Port (PS/2 port):

     If your mouse is connected to the mouse port and is not
     detected by the system, attempt the following step(s):

     1)Your mouse port might need to be enabled through
       the SETUP menu of your computer (please check with
       the documentation of your computer on the usage of
       SETUP menu).

     2)If you have a mouse with both serial and mouse
       port adapters, connect it to the computer through
       the serial port. Reboot and check if the mouse is
       detected properly.

     3)If you must connect the mouse through the mouse
       port, add the following modification to the
       MOUSEDRV.INI file, reboot and check if the mouse
       is detected properly:

       [Technical]
       ForcePS2EquipmentFlag=On

     If the problem persists, please check for a possible
     computer BIOS ROM upgrade from your computer
     manufacturer. Some notebook type systems such as IBM
     Thinkpad have both an external Mouse Port and an
     integrated Pointing Stick which is connected to the
     Mouse Port. If your mouse is having difficulty running
     on the Mouse Port of such a system, try using the
     serial port instead.

     Mouse connected to the Serial Port:

     If your mouse is connected to the serial port and is
     not detected by the system, or hangs when loading add 
     the following modification to the MOUSEDRV.INI file, 
     reboot and check if the mouse is detected properly:

       [Technical]
       Timing=Hardware

     For more information on MOUSEDRV.INI, please refer to
     MOUSEDRV.TXT.

3.4  Toshiba T3400 sub-notebooks and IBM ThinkPad

     Mouse connected to the mouse port (PS/2 port):
     
     If the "pointing device mode" parameter in the
     computer's setup is set to "simultaneous", an external
     mouse connected to the mouse port will be identified as
     a generic two-button mouse. If this external mouse has
     three buttons, the following modifications should be
     made to the MOUSEDRV.INI file:
     
      [PS2]
      NumberOfButtons=3
      ButtonMapping=3Key
     
      The connected device model may also be specified. For
      more information on the MOUSEDRV.INI file, please refer
      to the MOUSEDRV.TXT file.
