  I. NOTES ON SETUP FOR DOS AND WINDOWS
  
  The APPEND Command
  ------------------
  SETUP may not work properly if you have used the MS-DOS APPEND command.
  If APPEND is in effect, then remove it before running Setup by typing
  
       APPEND;
  
  at the DOS command line (include the semicolon).
  
  
  PATH Modifications
  ------------------
  If you have a long PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you may want 
  to tell Setup not to add the Mouse files to your PATH. If you exceed 
  the DOS limit of 127 characters, you will have to switch to (or specify) 
  the directory containing the mouse file you want to load or run.
  
  Note that some systems may not start properly if the AUTOEXEC.BAT file being
  used contains a PATH statement that is too long. If this occurs with your
  system, restart the computer using a floppy system disk (DOS boot disk)
  and edit the PATH statement so that it contains fewer than 127 characters.
  
  If you have an older version of the mouse software on your system and the
  directory that includes the older version is included in your PATH, you
  should delete this directory from the PATH statement. Leaving the directory
  in the PATH may cause the older files to be found when you enter mouse 
  commands at the DOS command line. 

  Older versions of the mouse software do not include all the features of
  version 9.0. Delete older versions of the mouse software from your system 
  and use a text editor to remove the older directory from the PATH statement 
  in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
  
  
  Single-drive PCs
  ----------------
  If you have a single-drive PC without a hard disk, you will not be 
  able to use the Setup program to install the mouse software.
  For more information, see "Installing the Mouse for Additional 
  Configurations" in the Microsoft Mouse User's Guide.
  
  
  Network Installations
  ---------------------
  If you are installing the mouse software and you use a network, you may
  need to make sure that the network software loads before the mouse software.
  After running the Mouse Setup program, check the order in which the files 
  load in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and change it if necessary.
  
  
  Loading the DOS Mouse Driver under Windows
  ------------------------------------------
  You cannot load the DOS mouse driver from the DOS Prompt in Windows.
  To load the DOS mouse driver so that it is available when you go to
  the DOS Prompt from Windows:
  
       1. Exit Windows
       2. Type MOUSE at the command line
       3. Restart Windows

  II. USING THE MOUSE WITH OS/2
  
  
  Installing an OS/2 Mouse Driver
  -------------------------------
  This release includes two Microsoft OS/2 Mouse drivers:
  
       OS2MOUSE.V11     for OS/2 version 1.1
       OS2MOUSE.V12     for OS/2 version 1.2
  
  These drivers work with the following pointing devices:
  
       MS Serial-PS/2 Mouse
       MS Bus(Inport) Mouse
       MS BallPoint Mouse
  
  You do not need a separate driver for each type of mouse.
  Installation of the OS/2 mouse drivers must be done manually.
  
  To install an OS/2 mouse driver:
  
       (Assume your device drivers are in the directory C:\OS2.)
  
       1. Copy OS2MOUSE.V11 (or OS2MOUSE.V12) to C:\OS2.
  
       2. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file to remove the line that points
       to your current mouse driver. This line will vary according
       to the type of mouse installed. Example line to be removed:
  
       DEVICE=C:\OS2\IBMMOU1.SYS                (remove this line)
  
       3. If you are using OS/2 version 1.2, you must also remove 
       the line that includes MOUSE.SYS. Example line to be removed:
  
       DEVICE=C:\OS2\MOUSE.SYS  TYPE=MSSER$     (remove this line)
  
       4. Insert one of the following lines in the CONFIG.SYS file:
  
       DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2MOUSE.V11        (insert for OS/2 ver.1.1)
       or
       DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2MOUSE.V12        (insert for OS/2 ver.1.2)
  
       5. Save these changes and restart your computer.

  III. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
  
  
  Loading MOUSE.INI settings
  --------------------------
  The settings in MOUSE.INI are read by both the DOS and Windows mouse 
  drivers only when they load. Similarly, the Windows Mouse Control Panel
  uses the initial settings found in MOUSE.INI. However, the DOS mouse 
  Control Panel gets its initial settings from those resident in mouse-
  driver memory.

  Saving changes permanently from any of the mouse utilities updates both 
  the settings in driver memory and the settings in the MOUSE.INI file.
  However, if you edit the MOUSE.INI file manually, your new settings
  will not be recognized by either mouse driver until it is reloaded.
  
  To make your edits to settings take effect in DOS:
  
       1. Save the edited MOUSE.INI.
       2. Restart your computer.
          or,
          Remove the mouse driver from memory by typing MOUSE OFF;
          then reload the mouse driver by typing MOUSE.
  
  To make your edits to settings take effect in Windows:
  
       1. Save the edited MOUSE.INI.
       2. Exit Windows.
       3. Restart Windows.
  
  For more information on editing the settings in MOUSE.INI,
  see Appendix A in the Microsoft Mouse User's Guide.
