Does anyone know how to use the header file 'mouse.h' under AT&T System V R3.2???? I can't get anybody on AT&T's Hotline nor in their TIER-IV Group to tell me how to make the proper ioctl calls. So far everyone claims that they don't know because the port was done "outside" the company, i.e.: Microsoft, Interactive, Phoenix Technologies, and SCO. I'm trying to do a port of the X11-R4 server and would like some info. Eugene E. Galarneau uunet!sharkey!teemc!revere!eeg

If you have the AT&T Mouse Utilities Version 2.1 (the "latest and greatest") there's a man page in the package that's supposed to go in section 7 of the Sysadmin Reference that tells you all about the programatic interface for the mouse. If you email a fax number, I'll fax it to you. You can get the mouse manager by ordering COMCODE 105725865. -- Frank McGee, AT&T Entry Level Systems Support attmail!fmcgee (preferred) att!cuuxb!fmcgee (those that can't reach attmail)

It seems that FACE would be easier to use if it worked with a mouse. No one yet, however, has told me how this might be done. I'll bet the mouse works with X and Open Look! -- Paul Homchick :UUCP {rutgers | uunet} !cbmvax!cgh!paul Chimitt Gilman Homchick, Inc. :Internet cgh!paul@manta.pha.pa.us 259 Radnor-Chester Rd, Suite 140 :MCI PHOMCHICK Radnor, PA 19087-5299 :GEnie HOMCHICK

The mouse works with FACE as you would expect in an xterm
window.
Go figure.

I'll bet the > mouse works with X and Open Look! > The mouse works with FACE on my machine. The mouse not only works with OpenLook it is required. The mouse driver is manifest as /dev/mouse. I don't know exactly how it works, but write a program to read this device and see what it looks like. As far as any definitive UNIX documentation, I have never seen any. The mouse came with some DOS documentation and no UNIX drivers at all. I called the NSSC number and they were nice enough to send me the software free of charge, though it was the least they could do. -- Mike Matthews IMS / IOS Basking Ridge, NJ attibr!atti07!mjm
