1. What do these routines do?
-----------------------------

These routines will allow you to interface with the mouse driver in your
programs.  It works with Microsoft compatible mouse drivers (i.e. Logitech,
PC Mouse, Dexxa, etc).  The routines have the added feature of displaying a
'true' mouse cursor in text mode on an EGA or VGA by reprograming the font
on the fly.

The routines consist of several functions used to initialize, draw the
cursor, and get mouse events (button presses).

These routines do not handle drawing the mouse cursor in graphics mode,
only text mode.  If the routines detect the presense of an EGA/VGA adapter,
it will use the 'true' mouse cursor, if not it will use a simple block
cursor implemented by switch the foreground/background colors of the
position the cursor is.
