A question for our collective intelligence, w.r.t. programming the mouse. I was examining some source code to a mouse driver today, and the following statement appeared several times. int86 (0x33, ®S, ®S); So I set out on a quest to find documentation on this interupt 33h function. It is not to be found, I even looked in the DOS Encyclopedia, but to no avail. Thus I put this question to you, what is this 33h interupt, and where can I get some docs on it. Thanks.

Int 0x33 is the standard mechanism for talking to the MS mouse driver (and most other mouse drivers, ie. non MS). Documentation on how to use these various calls was included with the original MS mouse but must be purchased seperately with the new MS mouse. The topic has been discussed in Borland's "Turbo Technix" magazine as well.
