It's a bug in TVision.
If you have time and room on your hard disk, the only way to fix this bug is :
1) go to robert's home page
2) get the sources of his TVision port (beta 5).
3) apply this [quoted from Robert himself] :
It is a bug with the incorrect
handling of the 'cli' and 'sti' instructions. If you want to fix this bug
yourself look at the sources for the TV library in the file
'classes/t/event.cc'. There is a function Mouseint or so and in this
function is at the beginning a 'disable()' and at the end an 'enable()'.
Simply remove this two lines (they are not needed) and you can run RHIDE
under Win 3.1x. This affacts also all other TV apllications (test it with
the tvedit editor).
4) compile TVision again (it took me 17 hours !)
5) get RHIDE sources from where you got the binary for RHIDE
6) re-compile RHIDE with this new libtv.a
7) it works great !!!
If you have 600K free on a FTP site, I can also upload my libtv.a to you.
Just ask me!
You'll just have to process steps 5), 6) and 7) !!!!
Workaround : you can also remove your mouse driver from your autoexec, but it's so useful
to have a mouse working in a dos box !!!
Hope this helps
Feel free to ask me if any problem occurs.
