Hi I am having trouble with some PD/sharware programs and my mouse.

TUZZLE	  1988 Armin Daubmann
SQUIXX	  1986 Michael Kolb
DOMINO_2  1987 Mulsoft

All of these will start and run but seem unable to read the joystick.
Yes..., they do run correctly on a friend's older cpu with a with 1.0 TOS.

Uniterm 2.0e from terminator.cc.umich.edu

It does everything that it is supposed to with one extra:  after using
it for a while (especialy moving between many menus/screens/boxes) it
will start leaving small boxes (aprox[###]) arround after moving over
menu selections, and the mouse will disapear.  Am I alone in this??
Other than that a great system.

My last complaint: The *#$@ mouse will swap up for down occasionaly after
swaping disks (in the short time that the pointer disappears while 
redrawing a window) I can see no pattern nor is it easy to repeat
(it will revert to correct _sometimes_).  Is there a patch?

My system:
1040 STf (the standard U.S. ST) 1.2 TOS, bought Dec. 89
1 meg, 1 drive, mono, no DA's or ACC's

What can be done?  are there patches, new versions, or anything else??
how about loading TOS 1.0 into ram(how do I do this(please gime me source
not a discription))?

please email me...I'll repost summary.
thanks.
