I've finally installed Borland's Turbo Debugger 2.0 on my 386 and attempted to use my mouse with the debugger. Although Borland's documentation claims that it has mouse support, when I move my mouse around, I can't see any mouse cursor on the screen. However, if I "blindly" move my invisible mouse cursor to the top of the screen and click on the left button, the "current" selection is highlighted and a submenu is displayed. As I move the mouse around, the selections and menus change. In addition, within the help facility, the mouse seems to have no effect. Has anyone in netland managed to get their mouse to work with Borland's debugger? If so, was it a configuration parameter or was a patch required from Borland? Oh yes, on a sidenote, when I ran TDINST with QEMM 5.0 installed, when I went to modify the colors of my windows, after some number of keystrokes which varied, I had to either reboot my machine using the three finger salute or sometimes with the reset button. Without QEMM, there was no problem. Anyone else experience this? +---------------------------------------+-----------------------+ | Ken Lee | klee@cs.ubc.ca | | Department of Computer Science | klee@cs.ubc.cdn | | University of British Columbia | uunet!ubc-cs!klee | | Vancouver, BC, Canada | (604) 228-3061 | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------+

I have heard that Borland suggests that you use the NEWest mouse driver available. The problem seems to be that old mouse drivers don't support a function that Borland assumed everyone would have. For example, MS mouse version 6.11 is too old, you need 7.04. Same goes for Logitech and others, with appropriate version numbers. >Oh yes, on a sidenote, when I ran TDINST with QEMM 5.0 installed, when I >went to modify the colors of my windows, after some number of keystrokes >which varied, I had to either reboot my machine using the three finger >salute or sometimes with the reset button.

This is because VROOMM is a dos extender, and doesn't take kindly to other extender programs. Borland seems to be pretty sure of VROOMM, because they are obviously using it in their own programs ;-) Hope this is some help, Dave | shack@cs.arizona.edu
