VIRUAMOS is a memory resident program using a little over 1K
|
|
of memory that is loaded after the mouse driver. With VIRUAMOS you
|
|
get a "virtual Reality" appearance to you mouse while not effecting
|
|
the mouses preformance in the least. Viruamos works with most mouse
|
|
drivers and is loaded after the mouse drivers.

Introduction
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
|
|
|
|
IBM PC or compatible, DOS 2.0 or higher,
|
|
Mouse - Microsoft(tm) or Mouse Systems(tm) compatible driver
|
|
software for your mouse or trackball.
|
|
|
|
|
|
QUICK-START AND USAGE
|
|
|
|
The driver for your mouse or trackball must be loaded before
|
|
you can load VIRUAMOS. VIRUAMOS will let you know if a mouse
|
|
driver is not installed with a 'Mouse driver not loaded'
|
|
message. If you know that your mouse driver is loaded, to give
|
|
it a quick try, from the prompt run VIRUAMOS. Then run a text
|
|
editor or word processor program that does not normally work
|
|
with a mouse. You will find that the mouse can be used to move a
|
|
cursor or highlight bar that is normally moved with the cursor
|
|
keys. The left button is the same as pressing the enter key and
|
|
can be used to make selections or enter a return. The right
|
|
button is the same as pressing escape. This works well with
|
|
editors like VDE and QEDIT(tm) that do not provided mouse
|
|
support internally. Note: pressing the right mouse button (Esc
|
|
key) activates the menu system in QEDIT(tm). If you have a three
|
|
button mouse the middle button is the same as pressing the Del
|
|
key. Pressing left + right mouse buttons at the same time is the
|
|
same as pressing the F1 key. The F1 key is the help key in many
|
|
programs. Optionally if you load VIRUAMOS with the command
|
|
'VIRUAMOS /t' the F10 key is sent by pressing the left + right
|
|
buttons. This is for the integrated editor in the Borland Turbo
|
|
languages which use the F10 key to activate the menu system.
|
|
|
|
VIRUAMOS function is always restored automatically when
|
|
returning to the command line prompt incase a program has
|
|
disabled VIRUAMOS by using its own mouse functions. VIRUAMOS
|
|
function is also restored by pressing both shift () keys at the
|
|
same time. This is provided for menu programs and other programs
|
|
that allow you to shell out to run another program. When you
|
|
return to the original program, if VIRUAMOS is disabled, press
|
|
both shift keys.
|
|
|
|
Note: Load (run) VIRUAMOS from a batch file (autoexec.bat when
|
|
you boot) or from the command line only. DO NOT load VIRUAMOS
|
|
from a program that allows you to run other programs (shell to
|
|
DOS or shells to a command line).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION AND SET UP
|
|
|
|
Copy the file VIRUAMOS.COM to your hard drive or boot disk.
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of how to install VIRUAMOS and
|
|
the mouse driver supplied with your mouse or trackball. The name
|
|
of the driver depends on the maker. So <drivername> means to use
|
|
the name of the driver supplied with your mouse. An editor is
|
|
used to enter the lines of text in the config.sys and
|
|
autoexec.bat files. Also read the instructions that came with
|
|
your mouse on how to load your mouse driver software.
|
|
|
|
If your mouse driver is a device driver (mouse.sys or
|
|
something similar with a .sys ) it needs to be loaded from the
|
|
config.sys file. Then included "VIRUAMOS" on a line some where
|
|
near the beginning of the autoexec.bat file. If you have copied
|
|
the driver and VIRUAMOS to a directory other than the root then
|
|
you would need to include a path.
|
|
Example line in config.sys:
|
|
|
|
device=c:\dos\<drivername>.sys
|
|
|
|
And the example line in autoexec.bat:
|
|
|
|
c:\util\VIRUAMOS
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your mouse driver is named mouse.com, msmouse.com or
|
|
something similar, <drivername> is entered on a line in your
|
|
autoexec.bat file. Enter VIRUAMOS on the next line. VIRUAMOS
|
|
will not load unless a mouse driver is loaded first. If you have
|
|
copied the driver and VIRUAMOS to a directory other than the
|
|
root then you would need to include a path.
|
|
Example lines in autoexec.bat:
|
|
|
|
c:\dos\<drivername>
|
|
c:\util\VIRUAMOS
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use a mouse to cursor key speed other than the default,
|
|
include a horizontal and vertical speed value between 1-99 on the
|
|
command line that loads VIRUAMOS.
|
|
|
|
The format is - VIRUAMOS <horizontal value> <vertical value>
|
|
|
|
Examples - VIRUAMOS 4 6
|
|
VIRUAMOS /t 4 6
|
|
|
|
VIRUAMOS should be compatible with other TSR (terminate and
|
|
stay resident) programs. You will find that VIRUAMOS works with
|
|
other TSRs. It can be used with programs like CED or STACK to
|
|
recall, edit and run previously entered command lines. I have
|
|
tested it with the program CTRLALT and the mouse can be use
|
|
instead of the cursor keys inside CTRLALT. If you are have
|
|
problems using VIRUAMOS with other TSR programs, try changing
|
|
the order in which VIRUAMOS and the other TSR programs are
|
|
loaded (try loading VIRUAMOS first).
