MOUSECTL                             Michael J. Mefford
Adjusts mouse sensitivity		    Version 1.1
-------------------------------------------------------

Purpose
-------
Provides multiple sensitivity settings for achieving
more precise and smooth control of IBM and MicroSoft
mice.

Format
------

    MOUSECTL [n ... n | filename | /U]

Remarks
-------
MOUSECTL is a memory-resident utility that can be
loaded either at the DOS prompt or as part of an
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. It can be used only with IBM or
Microsoft mouse drivers and must be loaded after
either MOUSE.SYS or MOUSE.COM. MOUSECTL can be
deinstalled by entering the command with the /U
switch.

The optional n parameters consist of up to eight
"multiplier" values between 0 and 32767, which are
used to modify the mouse sensitivity. The default
values are 5,6,10,15,22,30,50,70. Other values for n
may be entered using either a space or a comma
delimiter. The n values are entered into a look-up
table from left to right; if less than 8 numbers are
entered those already in the table remain in force.

The range values represent the number of mickeys
(1/200th-inch increments) the mouse actually moves
during its 25-millisecond reporting period. The
multiplier values (n) are divided by 10 and then
multiplied by the range value to determine the
adjusted number of mickeys reported to the application
program. For example, an actual motion of 5 mickeys,
multiplied by 0.6 results in 3 mickeys being reported,
slowing the mouse movement to obtain more precise
control for drawing. A movement of 30 mickeys in one
25-ms period will be multiplied by 5.0, so that 150
mickeys will be reported, moving the cursor very
rapidly for page scanning.

Note
----
Because Microsoft Windows loads its own mouse driver,
MOUSECTL cannot be used with Windows utilities or with
programs (such as Pagemaker) that must, rather than
may, be run under Windows.
