   DESCRIPTION

     SerMouse is a mouse handler for the "standard" pc mice. (I hope) you
     can use the most standard pc mice. You need a free serial port to
     connect your mouse to.

     Here the options:

     DEVICE       - name of serial device (default: serial.device)
     UNIT         - unit number of device (default: 0)
     MOUSETYPE    - two different mouses are supported, 0 for my microsoft-
                    mouse (only two buttons supported, mouse sends three
                    bytes) and 1 for my genious mouse (with three buttons,
                    sends 5 bytes). Try to which your mouse is compatible to,
                    some mice are switchable (like my Genious mouse)
     SWAPBUTTONS  - swap left and right mouse button
     MIDSHIFTLEFT - hande middle mouse button as shift left mouse button
     MIDSHIFTRIGHT- hande middle mouse button as shift right mouse button
     SCREENSHUFFLE- put active screen behind all other screens on a
                    double-click of the middle mouse button
     ACCEL        - accelleraton factor (positive->faster, negative->slower)
     THRESHOLD    - threshold for acceleraton

      run >nil: SerMouse duart.device 1 SCREENSHUFFLE

   PRICE

   BACKGROUND

     Yesterday I bought a MultiFaceCard III, and such had a free serial port.
     As PC mice are soo cheap I decided to buy one for my amiga. As no mouse
     handler was available, I wrote my own one ;-)

     I am not sure that I covered all mice types. If you have a mouse that
     is not compatible to my program, please send me the hex codes that the
     mouse sends to your serial port (1200/8/N/1) I will then try to implement
     that mouse type. I will release the sourcecode if another project (partly
     from me) is ready.
