Hello everybody,

Would anyone help answering the following question? Thanks in advance.

Recently I need to use mouse in my program. I copy the following mouse
installing subroutine from djgpp (ver 1.xx) FAQ without any change:

int install_mouse_handler (unsigned mask,
               void (*func)(__dpmi_regs *))
 {
     __dpmi_regs r;

     callback_info.pm_offset = (long)func;
     if (_go32_dpmi_allocate_real_mode_callback_retf(&callback_info,
                             &callback_regs))
       return -1;  /* failure */

     r.x.ax = 0xc;
     r.x.cx = mask;
     __dpmi_int (0x33, &r);
     return (r.x.flags & 1) ? -1 : 0;
  }

then I wrote a small testing callback as follows

   void func( __dpmi_regs *callback_regs )
   {
    if((callback_regs->x).bx!=0) printf("mouse button %d\n", (callback_regs->x).
bx);
   }

main program is the following

void main (void)
  {
    if (install_mouse_handler(31, func)) goto Error;
    getch();
    return;
Error:
    printf("error\n");
    return;
  }

Compiling is OK. But error occurs and forces to close dos box (win 95) at
runtime immediately when I move the mouse or push the button.

Thank you for reading this.
