                            %h*** MOUSE SUPPORT ***

4
To be able to use your mouse in your programs, you need a mouse driver.
5
SvarDOS has no mouse driver by default, but there's a package for it.
1034 bttr 6
It's called CTMOUSE (CuteMouse). You need to install this package.

%hINSTALLING CTMOUSE
9
 
10
If your SvarDOS system is connected to the internet, you can just type:
11
 
12
 pkgnet pull ctmouse
13
 pkg install ctmouse.svp
14
 
15
Otherwise you need to download 'ctmouse.svp' an another computer and supply it
16
to your SvarDOS installation by, e.g., floppy disk or USB drive.
17
 
18
Then type:
19
 
20
 pkg install [<path to>]ctmouse.svp
21
 
22
%hLOADING CTMOUSE
23
 
24
If you don't care about the language CTMOUSE displays messages, then just add
25
this line to your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. Messages will then be displayed in English.
26
 
27
 C:\DRIVERS\CTMOUSE\CTMOUSE.EXE
28
 
29
That's it! Now reboot your system to get the driver loaded.
30
 
31
But if you prefer CTMOUSE messages in your own language, check if CTMOUSE is
32
available in that language by looking at the CTM-*.EXE files in the
33
C:\DRIVERS\CTMOUSE\CTMOUSE\ directory.
34
 
35
BR means Brazilian Portugese, DE stands for Deutsch (German), and so on.
36
If you managed to find your language supported by CTMOUSE, then add this line
37
to your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT.
38
 
39
 C:\DRIVERS\CTMOUSE\CTMOUSE\CTM-xx.EXE
40
 
41
(Where xx stands for your language code.)
42
 
43
%hLANGUAGE-AWARE AUTO-SETUP
44
 
45
To let CTMOUSE messages adapt to your SvarDOS system's language automatically,
46
add the following lines to your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT after the SET LANG=xx line.
47
 
48
 SET CTM_BASEPATH=C:\DRIVERS\CTMOUSE
49
 SET CTM_FULLPATH=%%CTM_BASEPATH%%\CTMOUSE\CTM-%%LANG%%.EXE
50
 IF NOT EXIST %%CTM_FULLPATH%% SET CTM_FULLPATH=%%CTM_BASEPATH%%\CTMOUSE.EXE
51
 %%CTM_FULLPATH%%
52
 SET CTM_BASEPATH=
53
 SET CTM_FULLPATH=
54
 
55
This will make your SvarDOS look for the translated CTMOUSE version first.
56
If that does not exist, then it falls back to English.
57

%hMULTI-CONFIG SVARDOS SYSTEMS
59
 
60
If you decided to have multiple configurations in your CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT
61
you would save the lines from LANGUAGE-AWARE AUTO-SETUP to a batch file, e.g.,
62
C:\BATCH\LOAD-CTM.BAT. Add an @ECHO OFF as the first line.
63
 
64
Then you can spread the next line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, whereever needed.
65
 
66
 CALL C:\BATCH\LOAD-CTM.BAT
