These are the DOS mouse drivers you uuencoded a few days ago:

    MOUSE.SYS  26514  18 Jan 90 - Microsoft mouse driver, version 7.00
    MOUSE.COM  26677  18 Jan 90 - Microsoft mouse driver, version 7.00
    MOUSE.COM  56408  10 Mar 93 - Microsoft mouse driver, version 8.20

I tried both MOUSE.COM versions on my machine, and both worked fine with
the LIBGRX-based mouse routines. I have a cheapo Taiwanese serial mouse
(3 buttons but MS-compatible) attached to COM1. The driver that came
with my mouse has slightly lower memory requirements (9K for my driver,
13K for MS driver 7.20, 17K for 8.20), but does not have the lively
"ballistic" acceleration of the MS drivers.

I don't know what is causing your mouse problems - it doesn't seem to be
the drivers. You might consider trying a different mouse. They are
incredibly inexpensive these days.

Good luck - JW
