I am writing some Quick Basic routines on an IBM AT (clone) with Quick Basic 4.0 and would like to add a mouse interface. I know that it is a fairly striaght forward problem to do this but I have not found any books on quick basic that show how to do it. Information on where to find a routine or a copy of one would be very much appreciated. (If you send one please send the source code with out compression or coding....my PC is not hooked to internet so I will probably be typing it in by hand.:( ) Thanks in advance.

Try looking for _Microsoft Mouse Programmer's Reference_, published by Microsoft Press for $29.95 (ISBN: 1-55615-191-8). It comes with two disks that contain MOUSE.LIB, sample menus, and a bunch of sample programs. It has a bunch of examples, each with code fragments shown in BASICA, QuickBASIC, C, and MASM. Have had very favorable comments on it. You might also try looking for some of the programming libraries (shareware or commercial), since many of them have mouse routines in them. -- jamesd@techbook.UUCP ...!tektronix!nosun!techbook!jamesd TECHbooks: The Computer Book Specialists - Voice: +1 503 646-8257 12600 SW 1st - Beaverton, OR - 97005

Check out a copy of the book "Microsoft Mouse Programmer's Reference". It
contains two diskettes that contain programs in the book. Keep in mind
that the mouse cannot be program directly from Basic. Assembly language
routines are needed and one of the files on the diskette is mouse.lib.
Well worth the money.
