[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Turbo C mice

kluksdah@hpesoc1.HP.COM (Keith Kluksdahl) (12/21/88)

Are there any mouse drivers for Turbo C 2.0?  How about printer
drivers?

If what you really want is a mouse driver, i.e., MOUSE.SYS, then you may be
on your own, that is, if the one which accompanies your mouse is inadequate.

However, you may be interested in incorporating a mouse interface into
some particular program you are writing...on that assumption, here's
a reference.

    "Advanced Turbo C Programmer's Guide", Mosich, Shammas, and Flamig,
    published by Wiley.
    Includes a 'mouse toolkit' and some sample programs which use it.
    Code is written in Turbo C.

If you have your heart set on a new driver, try:

    "Writing MS-DOS Device Drivers", Robert S. Lai, The Waite Group.

I think Keith is the one who asked the question.  Others have suggested
mouse programming toolkits.  If you are instead looking for a .DEF file
to set up the mouse for use in TC programming, that is pretty easy.  I
just modified slightly the one which Logitech provides for Turbo Pascal.
The editors are the same.  I may add a few features, though, later.  If I
do I will submit it to the Logitech BBS.
