![]() Programs that use the mouse driver provided cursor but still draw it on their own: work OK, partial host/guest mouse integration: Warcraft 2, surprisingly.Programs that ignore the mouse driver provided cursor, and either use relative motion only or read the mouse themselves: should work, but WITHOUT mouse integration : WordPerfect6 with standard settings, Windows with standard driver, Theme Hospital, Monkey Island 1/2. ![]() MS-DOS Edit, defrag, Cutemouse's mousetst □, Adlib composer, DN/2 DOS navigatior (this one uses the wheel natively) Programs that use the mouse driver provided cursor/pointer: work OK, full host/guest mouse integration: most text mode programs, e.g.I think I can split DOS programs in 3 categories regarding mouse: Builds anywhere where OpenWatcom2 runs - including DOS itself.īe warned that I've only tried with a couple programs, so it's likely that compatibility is very bad.
