                            %h*** MOUSE SUPPORT ***

To be able to use your mouse in your programs, you need a mouse driver.

SvarDOS has no mouse driver by default, but there's a package for it.

It's called CTMOUSE (CuteMouse). You need to install this package.

%hINSTALLING CTMOUSE

If your SvarDOS system is connected to the internet, you can just type:

 pkgnet pull ctmouse

 pkg install ctmouse.svp

Otherwise you need to download 'ctmouse.svp' an another computer and supply it

to your SvarDOS installation by, e.g., floppy disk or USB drive.

Then type:

 pkg install [<path to>]ctmouse.svp

%hLOADING CTMOUSE

If you don't care about the language CTMOUSE displays messages, then just add

this line to your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. Messages will then be displayed in English.

 C:\DRIVERS\CTMOUSE\CTMOUSE.EXE

That's it! Now reboot your system to get the driver loaded.

But if you prefer CTMOUSE messages in your own language, check if CTMOUSE is

available in that language by looking at the CTM-*.EXE files in the

C:\DRIVERS\CTMOUSE\CTMOUSE\ directory.

BR means Brazilian Portugese, DE stands for Deutsch (German), and so on.

If you managed to find your language supported by CTMOUSE, then add this line

to your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT.

 C:\DRIVERS\CTMOUSE\CTMOUSE\CTM-xx.EXE

(Where xx stands for your language code.)

%hLANGUAGE-AWARE AUTO-SETUP

To let CTMOUSE messages adapt to your SvarDOS system's language automatically,

add the following lines to your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT after the SET LANG=xx line.

 SET CTM_BASEPATH=C:\DRIVERS\CTMOUSE

 SET CTM_FULLPATH=%%CTM_BASEPATH%%\CTMOUSE\CTM-%%LANG%%.EXE

 IF NOT EXIST %%CTM_FULLPATH%% SET CTM_FULLPATH=%%CTM_BASEPATH%%\CTMOUSE.EXE

 %%CTM_FULLPATH%%

 SET CTM_BASEPATH=

 SET CTM_FULLPATH=

This will make your SvarDOS look for the translated CTMOUSE version first.

If that does not exist, then it falls back to English.

%hMULTI-CONFIG SVARDOS SYSTEMS

If you decided to have multiple configurations in your CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT

you would save the lines from LANGUAGE-AWARE AUTO-SETUP to a batch file, e.g.,

C:\BATCH\LOAD-CTM.BAT. Add an @ECHO OFF as the first line.

Then you can spread the next line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, whereever needed.

 CALL C:\BATCH\LOAD-CTM.BAT
