I recently acquired the cmouse2.arc file, and recompiled the programs under
Turbo C 2.0.  Everything works fine, as far as I can tell, in 25-line text
mode.

My first question is, how do I support the mouse in the 50 line VGA text mode?
cmouse2 doesn't seem to realize that the number of lines on the screen has
changed, and the mouse cursor is restricted to the upper 25 lines.

My second question:  how does Norton generate a graphic arrow for the mouse
cursor in text mode.  It doesn't seem to be one of the ASCII graphics char-
acters; does he alter the font?  The Norton Utilities also support the mouse
in 50 line mode, although the mouse cursor is a more normal "box".

Thanks.
