Prior to release 2.3, there is no mouse support or drivers available from SCO. However, in this month's issue of "C Users Journal," George Pajari published an article describing a Microsoft Bus Mouse driver for SCO XENIX 2.2.1, complete with C source code. It should work fine for 2.2.3 as well. The C Users Journal is published by the C User's Group of McPhersen, Kansas. I don't have the issue in front of me right now. Send e-mail if you need more specifics. Ross Oliver SCO Technical Support

I have a floppy discette which I received from SCO containing Logitech Bus Mouse drivers for SCO Xenix 286 version 2.2.4. The label on this discette bears the SCO logo. I found out about the drivers from an issue of _diSCOver_ (The magazine published periodically by SCO). The discette is marked "installable mouse drivers" with a bunch of other bureaucratic hieroglyphics and was mailed to me by calling up SCO and asking for the "installable mouse drivers". In fact, they shipped it to me for free. Now why is [one representative] of SCO Technical Support announcing on a public network that there are no such drivers? -- ==> ..!uunet!vsedev!hudson [hudson@vsedev.vse.com] (C Hudson Hendren III) <== ==> These are my opinions and are not necessarily those of VSE Corporation. <== ==> MS-DOS was created to keep idiots away from UNIX computers <==
