MOUSER - Version 0.1 (for IBM-compatibles)
Test Of Direct Mouse Access Under CP/M-86
From Nicole Kaiyan and Kirk Lawrence


MOUSER is a real-world demonstration of the potential to "mouse" CP/M-86
programs, using direct mouse access at the hardware level.  It's the first
"moused" software ever written for CP/M-86.

MOUSER is only a test program.  To keep the coding relatively uncomplicated,
the mouse addressing is hard-wired for COM 1.  So in order for MOUSER to
work correctly on your computer, your mouse must be connected to COM 1.

Although MOUSER doesn't do anything very useful, it =does= illustrate the
practical possibility of using direct mouse hardware access to create point-
and-click applications for CP/M-86.  Which, in itself, is rather amazing.

The major credit for MOUSER belongs to Nicole Kaiyan -- who researched and
perfected the port initialization and direct mouse access routines used in
the program.  I merely wrapped a simple user interface around her code.
