I wrote a tablet driver program for my Kurta tablet to run on my A2000 under
1.3. The problem is that when I got my A3000 with 2.0, my program broke. I
have checked all phases of my program and the problem seems to occur when I
access the input.device. A couple of notes, I use IECLASS_POINTERPOS instead
of RAWMOUSE. I do this because I get absolute coordinates from the tablet. I
then transform the coodinates of the tablet to 600X400 space. I handle the
buttons in a separate input to input.device. Of course, the coordinates are
passed at that time and they are passed if no button is activated. The problem
is the mousepointer moves, even if the pen is not moving. Eventually, it moves
to the lower right corner of the screen, as if the values it is getting is a
deltax and deltay, not absolute screen coordinates, until it reaches the 
maximum values. This program use to and still does work under 1.3. I need help.
Is this enough info, or should I post the program. I haven't because I don't
want to waste net resources. My references have been RKM 1.3 and Ed Hanway's
OptMouse Program that was on Fred Fish Disk #445.
