I have been using Ultramacros 3.1 with AppleWorks 3.0 for almost a year now. When I purchased Ultramacros (one of Beagle Bros TimeOut utilities) one of the capabilities was supposed to be mouse control of the cursor. It doesn't work on my setup. I have a IIc with a Z-Ram Ultra II board of 1 meg and an 8 MHz ZipChip. I have written to Beagle Bros a few times and have always had a nice reply (unlike most firms) however the nice reply always says they are still working on it. Does anyone have any information about this, better yet a solution. At the moment as soon as I enable the mouse and move it I jump into the monitor. Robert.

In-Reply-To: message from robert-s@cs.aukuni.ac.nz The 8 bit Apple and the UltraMacros Mouse driver have been at odds for some time now, but that isn't the whole story, actually. The problem only happens on a Minority of Apple //c's, c+'s, and even a minory of //e mousecards! Weirdness.... Anyway, when I was gone for the summer, nobody bothered to tell me that the problem couldn't be reproduced in San Diego or by Randy Brandt. Of course, MY //e had the problem, and a couple of weeks ago my mouse card was shipped to Randy, and supposedly HE's hacking away at the problem... Incidently, the Mousecard we had lying around the office works just fine plugged into my //e at home (where the problem was) with UM 3.1, so we now are obviously on the right track. Look for an update soon ( Jan?). -Warren Ernst Beagle Bros Techie Warren.e@pro-bealge, Genie, or a theater near you. Opinions expressed by me aren't normally those of Beagle Bros, but they are in this case. Great.
