I an trying to write a windowing system on an Amstrad PC 1512, since I do n't like GEM, and have come across a few problems; a) How do you read the status of the mouse, when the following happens; i) Left button up or down. ii) Right button up or down. iii) movement of the mouse. b) How can I persuade DOS that my window is my terminal and not the whole monitor on my desk, eg I open a window and type in cc cprog.c I want this to go to DOS for execution and then the output from cc to appear in the window. c) browsing through the manual is is not possible to open an invisible window such that position 0,0 is the top left of the window and not the top left of the screen ? if so how ? Finally while I am connected does anyone know how can I get a copy of minix? Thanks for your help.
