I installed it successfully, and it works beautifully without a glitch. Besides telling Windows that I have a Logitech mouse, the only other relevent parts of my installation have been to run Mouse, Menu, and Click in my Autoexec.Bat file. To switch subjects for a moment... I found that running multiple DOS windows was a slight pain at first. I like having TWO DOS windows in 386 Enhanced mode -- one running as "background" priority. This proved to me a failure UNTIL I made a PIF for command.com, and checked the high graphics test modes and such (more info on that in the Users' guide). But, alas, I find that some programs (like Norton's SI, or BE SA ) will prevent text from appearing for short moments. Has anyone encounterred this problem? For those of who who asked: WordPerfect runs fine in a window under 386 Enhanced mode (although it's a memory hog). So does dBASE III+... In fact, I've had two DOS windows, WordPerfect, dBASE III+, CrossTalk for WIndows, and some other smaller Windows apps running at once (with CrossTalk and one DOS window running as a "background" process) without much problem other than occational disk swaps (this is with 4 megs of memory). So, other than slight disk-swapping slow downs, and interesting screen updating glitches, I'd say that running multiple non-windows applications at once in 386 Enhanced mode works fine. -Dave -- Dave Eisenberg SUNY at Stony Brook Computer Science deisenb@csserv2.ic.sunysb.edu -or- deisenbe@sbccvm.bitnet
