Hi,

I should really ask these two questions seperatly, but this mailing list
gets enough traffic as it is...

1 - Installing custom mouse handlers
------------------------------------
One of the nice features of the microsoft mouse driver is for it to call
one of your own routines when an event (e.g. motion or button click) occurs.
Unfortunatly, it requires a segment:offset form of passing the address of
your routine, which obviously won't work in protected mode programs.  Is
there a foolproof method of doing the equivalent?  (I am currently calling
mouse routines through simulated int 33h, as you would for a 16 bit program.


2 - Interrupts
--------------
I know there has been a lot of traffic to do with this recently, but can
anyone offer practical advice as to how to resolve the problems with real
and protected mode interrupts.  Just using protected mode interrupts seems
to work fine on dos 6, but when I tried it using HIMEM & EMM386 with dos 5
it caused chaos.  (Missing interrupts like nobodys business).  Is there a
universal method of handling interrupts that will work no matter which
memory configuration / mode you are working in?


Any help would be gratefully received.

Alistair
