[net.sources.mac] UW 3.4 and Macmouse.el

felix@lifia.UUCP (Francois Felix INGRAND) (11/14/86)

If you use UW (3.4) and  macmouse.el (2.0) (which is distributed in the misc
directory of UW) you will have some troubles using the Virtual Vertical Bar.
It's come from a change in the UW (3.4) "out of bounds mouse report..." as say
john:

I fixed this small bug... In the macmouse.el file change the line:

      (setq xr (if (= 80 temp) 81 temp)))
with
      (setq xr (if (= 80 temp) 95 temp)))

That's all.

Now it's work fine, and you can use the Mac Mouse to scroll (vertical and
horizontal movements), copy, yank, change buffer, and so on...

UW is a very usefull software (particulary for us who do not have enough money
to buy Work-Stations...), and thanks to John Bruner to develop and distribute
it.
