I am interested in writing software which uses my Microsoft mouse.
Although the mouse did not come with any real programmer's
documentation, there is a reference to the "Microsoft Mouse
Programmer's Reference Guide", which I can order at additional cost.
Have any of you actually bought/used this book? Is it worthwhile? Are
there other (better) sources of this information?
Brian

I bought the ref guide you asked about, and I was quite
disappointed by it. The reason I bought it was to get some good
programming examples, but it contains only the most rudimentary
examples. For me, a much better source of info is contained in
the July 21, 1987 issue of PC Magazine (Vol 6, #13) on pp 411ff.
This article contains all that is useful (for me) from the ref
guide, as well as much more in the way of actual programming
examples and hints. I HIGHLY recommend it.
