From: ihnp4!stolaf!umn-cs!digi-g!brian@uw-beaver.arpa Does anyone out there know how to get raw mouse movement from the Mac? As it is now, the mouse is converted to absolute screen coordinates BEFORE you have a chance to do anything with it. If the cursor is in the lower left hand corner, and you move the mouse down & left, NO movement is detected from your program, because the cursor hasn't moved! Either 1) a way to fudge the current cursor position (reset it to the middle of the screen) to 'figure out' what the movement was (yuck); or 2) find where the REAL raw mouse input is kept, and read that; or 3) install your own mouse routine. Has anyone done this yet?
