To Ric Sorensen 

You recentley asked about the logitech logimouse.  There is a technical reference
manual available from logitech for about 5 dollars that will answer all of
your questions.  I have it but not here at work.  THere are all sorts of
command you can send it and there are jumpers available inside that
allow the default power up configuration to be set.  for example i set mine
to come up as a summa mouse so it would work with autocad (works like a champ).
If you have special questions mail to me at pitt!darth!liber and i will try to
answer them.

You mentioned a drawing program.  there is on available from heath called
Painter's apprentice.  It is a nice program but unfortunately is only a 
black and white system and only uses a microsoft mouse.  the author of the
program used to be on the old info-hz100 and i tried to contact him but he
either never received my message or didn't respond.  this program is much like
pc paint or dr halo. it works well and qquickly.

I'm still here... And as Gern said, Painter's Apprentice works with anything
that is microsoft mouse *driver* compatible, including the logitech mouse
driver.  I was tempted to make a tablet driver, but I didn't own the tablet,
and I didn't want to bother.

Heathkit (Zenith) isn't selling Painter's Apprentice any more.  All of my
contacts at Zenith have since left the company, and I don't know who to talk
to regarding the contract.  I can legally sell it on my own, but I would
rather check with Zenith first.
