EGAMouse is a TP 4.0 unit that adds Microsoft Mouse support to
your EGA TP programs. Most of the credit for it is due to Richard
Sadowsky, the author of Mouse4.pas, a unit that adds mouse
support for text-mode programs. I made some minor adjustments to
it, added the function CursorShape (with the help of John
Sieraski; his implementation of it worked, mine didn't, so the
code for CursorShape is his, with a minor modification added by
me), and wrote the demo program.
Future releases will include support for mouse functions 29 (get
CRT page number) and 30 (set CRT page number), and will have a
few more cursor shapes.
You must have the Microsoft (or compatible) mouse driver
installed as described in the Microsoft Mouse User's Guide. I
have version 6 of the Mouse software; EGAMouse might not work
with earlier versions.
This unit should work with trivial modifications on CGA programs.
All that has to be changed is the scaling of the X and Y
coordinates. To change the demo program for CGA, just change the
grDriver and grMode values at the beginning of the main body.
