PS.
While I'm dreaming, does anybody know if there is support for the middle
mouse button in 1.4?
I'm pretty sure Intuition has had support for the middle mouse button
since the beginning. It's certainly there from 1.2 onward.

It's certainly there from 1.2 onward. Sorry for the bad news, but Intuition swallows middle button events. So, for the time being, the only way to get them would be from the input.device food chain as long as you were in front of Intuition. 1.4 intuition will fix this. /----------------------------------------------------------------------\ | /// Michael Sinz -- CATS/Amiga Software/Support Engineer | | /// PHONE 215-431-9422 UUCP ( uunet | rutgers ) !cbmvax!mks | | /// | |\\\/// When people are free to do as they please, | | \XX/ they usually imitate each other. | \----------------------------------------------------------------------/

Yeah, this is wrong. It swallows them.

I will be "fixed" so that they are not swallowed, and somehow we'll geth
them down the IDCMP (how many programs will break if they get
a Code value of MIDDLEUP/MIDDLEDOWN for a MOUSEBUTTONS IDCMP message?).
BUT in the meantime, you can watch for transitions in the Qualifier
field, and simulate an "event." Just use INTUITICKS or something.
I think they have the correct current qualifier set.
So, Mike, I had one up my sleeve for once.

Hello, this has nothing to do with Mouse Buttons, but i heard 1.4 and it got
me wondering, 'When is Workbench 1.4 coming out, and where can Iget it when it
does?'
