[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Mouse Questions

jbeard@ntvax.uucp (Jeff Beardsley) (12/08/89)

	A couple of weeks ago (ok maybe more like 6 weeks ago), I sent out
a request for info on the MicroSoft Mouse.  This worked rather well, and the
package which I am working on is nearing completion. (Thanx to all who
contributed).

	Little did I know, however, that a mouse is not nessessarily a
mouse.  I tried the program on a machine with a Logitech mouse installed,
and it (The Program) . . . Bit-the-Dust.

	SO - I am wondering if there is a standard way that most programs
access the mouse(mice), or if they just find out somehow what mouse is 
installed, and have seperate code for each manufacturers mouse.

	If anyone knows one way or the other, especially about STANDARD
mouse accessing routines, I would be very interested in hearing about it.
