I am searching for a low level mouse routine, preferable written in C.
I don't need the memory resident driver, rather I need the next level
up from that, something that can tell me how many mickeys the guy has
moved, and what buttons are pressed. I am currently using a mouse
interface library from MSC, but it has some problems, and
there is no source code. I know it's just a few INTs, but what
are they??? 

(Also, I am a fan of the old MSC 3 button optical mouse. It was smooth,
svelte, and it let me use a consistent mouse technique on my Sun and on my
PC. Also, I developed software that used all three buttons. Now the
3 button version is discontinued, and the current 2 button MSC mouse is
inferior - stiff movement, stiff buttons, and only two buttons. What
is the closest current product for someone who liked the old MSC 3 button
optical mouse?)
