I have lots of plans.    But I don't think you'll see mouse
support in the Windows version very soon.  If I get time I'll look into it,
but from memory it's going to take a lot of messing-around to implement...

This is becoming a FAQ.  ;-)

Msged/NT, when run under Windows 95, performs screen output considerably
slower than the 16 or 32-bit DOS versions.  This is partly due to
less-than-100%-efficient code in that version, but is mostly due to 95's
very poorly implemented "console subsystem".  I've been told that
screen output is quicker when Msged/NT is run under Windows NT, but I don't
have NT nor a suitable computer to run it on to test this myself.
