The software has been compiled with the Microsoft Expert Menus Compiler and requires the use of the Microsoft Mouse driver version 6.1x or later. Other compatible mouse drivers and mice may be used however there may be slight variations in the operation of the software due to variations in the mouse driver. Please refer to the notes regarding your particular mouse. To use the mouse software you should create a batch file following this format: MenuName ON Example: PCPMOUSE ON SoftwareName PCPLUS MenuName OFF PCPMOUSE OFF If your mouse driver is correct and the mouse is functional the menu software will respond with it's name and the message "Installed". If there is an error in loading the software will respond "Mouse Driver not found." The latter of the two messages can indicated that your mouse driver is not compatible with the Microsoft Mouse driver 6.1x and that you should try and update your driver. USE Once installed the menu software is transparent and inactive until activated by movement of the mouse or the click of a mouse button. Each piece of software has it's own help screen which will explain details of it's operation. In general the following conventions will apply to all mouse menu products; LEFT BUTTON - Activates On Screen Menus RIGHT BUTTON - Selects from Menu or continues operations selected. BOTH BUTTONS - Cancels an operation. MID BUTTON - Same as Both Buttons The MSMOUSE.COM software is an exception to this standard. This software is LEFT BUTTON oriented for menus and selections. The RIGHT button is used to invoke the online help system. When in use the menu software may reassign the function of the mouse for compatibility with the software. When this occurs a message will be placed on the screen indicating the functions that each button will perform. Cursor movement is controlled by the mouse in all cases. - 2 - All software functions are controlled by the mouse when the menu software is installed. Pressing the LEFT button will always activate a menu that is appropriate to the current function of the software you are using. Screen colors are automatic and the menus appear to be part of the software rather than an overlayed window to it. NOTES TC-Mouse and TurboMouse both use a multi-menu system that allows for control of both the environment and the editor commands. Both of these products also contain a full set of programmers macros that are designed for the language they are used with. Selecting one of the macros will display a Dialog box on the screen which will prompt you for some variable information for the Macro that you have selected. You may cancel a Dialog box, and the macro, by pressing the ESCAPE key. Pressing the RETURN key or clicking the LEFT or RIGHT mouse button will complete the action of the Dialog box and the Macro. LOGITECH mouse users will find that the Microsoft versions may not function as they should. This is due to the incompatibility of the Logitech mouse driver to the Microsoft mouse driver. You will find that the versions designated for the Logitech mouse will compensate for these slight differences in the drivers. The Logitech versions will prove to be incompatible and will function erratically with the Microsoft mouse. For this reason they are considered different products and must be registered separately.
