Hi, Krogg,
 
Sorry, I used a poor selection of terms in my comment. What I ment was
that I have not found an svga/mouse combination that would work with
Win95, either in a DOS box or a full window. Furthermore, I don't know
of one which works properly if one boots direcly to farce known as "DOS
7". I am sure that this is another example of Microsoft chicanery to
kill any non-MS programs. :-(
 
I think that it is important because most new computers are now
delivered with only Win95 installed, and many new users don't know ( or
want to know ) how to run purely DOS programs. This is just another part
of the push to kill off DOS.
 
I think most people who develop DOS programs want the largest possible
potential audience, so that the elimination of svga/mouse apps from that
audience will do irreparable harm. Therefore, I was hoping for a
solution.
 
That's my rant and rave for today.
 
Doug
