**** PS/2 Mouse Configuration Information ****

Turn off your PC. Simply insert the mini-din-6 connector of
your mouse cable to the mouse port, usually it is located
on the back of your PC. Turn on the PC. The mouse will
automatically configure itself to a PS/2 mouse. Please go to
section 3 for installing the software.

Section 2
----------------------------------------------------------------
**** Serial Mouse Configuration Information ****

For a 2 button serial mouse, use the mini-din-6 to DB-9 adapter
that comes with your mouse. Attach it to the your mouse cable
before connecting to your PC. Carefully check all the connectors
are firmly connected. Go to next section to software installation.

Section 3

*IMPORTANT*
All mouse needs a mouse driver to work with the applications. You
have to load the mouse driver to your system before using your mouse
with your applications.

**** Installation of the DOS Mouse Driver ****

A:INSTALL (or B:INSTALL)

Simply follow the instructions on the screen.

*IMPORTANT*
Once install is completed, you should re-boot you computer to
allow the command lines that added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT to be
executed. If you chose not to have the install program to make
changes to the AUTOEXEC.BAT, you have to load the mouse driver
to your memory every time that you turn off and back on your
computer.

Section 4
----------------------------------------------------------------
*** Command line parameters ***
The REMOUSE.COM command can be run with a number of command
line parameters to set the characteristics of the mouse. You
can include these parameters in the batch file used to load
the mouse driver. All the options are as described below.

REMOUSE [OPTIONS]

Parameter Function
--------- --------
/off Remove mouse driver from memory
/mi 2 button format Microsoft compatible (default).
/cX Comm port X
*.The mouse driver is with auto-detect feature.
Usually you don't need to use this command
unless you want to specify where the mouse
is connected.

*.This option is not useful for the PS/2 mouse.
/lxx Language (default is English)
xx = f -> French
nl -> Dutch
d -> German

Section 5
----------------------------------------------------------------
**** DOS Mouse Test Program ****

There is a mouse test program that was installed on your
system as part of the installation procedure. To test for
proper mouse operation, do the following:

- Make sure you have run the installation program.
- Load the mouse driver with the appropriate parameters as
described above.
- Change directories to where you installed the mouse
software.
- Run TEST.EXE from the DOS prompt.

You should see a cursor that should follow your mouse
movement on the screen. You should also see blocks that
will highlight, indicating that you have pressed a
button. If both of these tests work, the mouse driver is
functioning properly.

Section 6
----------------------------------------------------------------
*** DOS Mouse Tutorial Program ***

The mouse tutorial program (TUTORIAL.EXE) is included in the driver
package. It allows you to practice all the standard mouse operations.

To execute the program, do the followings:

- Load the mouse driver.
- Under DOS prompt, type:

C:\REMOUSE\TUTORIAL

Section 7
----------------------------------------------------------------
*** Reveal DOS Mouse Control Center ***

The Reveal Mouse Control Center allows you to configure
all the parameters of the mouse. The configurable options are
as follows:

- Acceleration
The speed factors of the mouse can be set to one of 4
settings.
Low - Slight speed increase as mouse is moved quickly.
Medium - Medium speed increase as mouse is moved quickly.
High - Large speed increase as mouse is moved quickly.
None - No speed increase as mouse is moved quickly.
(Constant mouse motion as mouse is moved!)
Note: If the mouse feels too "jumpy", lower the setting.

- Swap Left/Right Buttons
If you are left handed or prefer the primary button to be
the right button instead of the standard left button, you
can select this option to swap the primary and secondary
buttons functions.

- Drag/Lock Button
If you wish to have a button perform a click and drag
without having to hold down the primary button, you can
select a button to act like pressing and holding the
primary button. Clicking the configured button once puts
mouse into this mode, clicking the same button again turns
this off.

- Sensitivity
The amount the pointer on the screen moves in relation to
hand motion can be controled with this feature. You can
also control the horizontal and vertical mouse motion
independently with this feature. Simply click the slide
bars or arrows on the end of the slide bars to make this
adjustment. Clicking the smaller arrows next to the slide
bars adjusts the horizontal and vertical seperately.
Clicking the large arrows moves both horizontal and
vertical. Moving the slide bar to the right increases and
to the left decreases. Any changes take effect immediately
so you can test the results.

- Set Orientation
If you feel more comfortable holding the mouse at an
angle, you can define which way the mouse thinks is up.
Normally, up would be towards the mouse cord. You can
change this direction by using the Orientation option.
In this menu you will be prompted to move the mouse in
the desired "UP" direction. Once set, the direction of
motion of the mouse will remain as you have defined. You
can reset the direction to factory defaults at any time be
selecting the RESET option at any time.

*** Changing the Comm Port the mouse is connected to ***

NOTE: The following applies only to a Serial Mouse. Do not un-plug
a mouse connected to the PS/2-style Mouse Port without turning
the power off! You may damage your PC if you do.

To change the port that the serial mouse is plugged into after the
DOS mouse driver is already loaded, you may simply reconnect the
mouse to the new serial port, then enter the mouse driver command
with the new /c option for the port where the mouse is attached.

For example, to change the mouse from being connected to COM1 to
being connected to COM2, simply plug the mouse into COM2, and enter:
REMOUSE /c2
If the mouse is found (or if the driver was originally loaded as
using Mouse Systems format, a message will be displayed that the
mouse driver was already loaded and the driver is enabled.

If the mouse wasn't found (when using Microsoft format) on any port,
you will receive a message indicating that situation.
