All rights reserved. --------------------------------- What's New --------------------------------- Release ..Date.. ..........................Changes.......................... 1.00 93/07/12 First general availability release. Support added for PS/2 mice, Inport mice, Felix mice, Summagraphics digitizers and CalComp digitizers. Many new PROTOCOL options added. The PORT, IRQ, RESPONSE, ORDER, UART, RATE, X, Y, MARGIN and PRESSURE options were added. The COM option was split into the COM and PORT/IRQ options to allow a consistent format for each option. The MOUSE=X option was replaced by the MOUSE=* option to avoid a conflict with the X option. Initialization error fixed which caused the ordering of statements in CONFIG.SYS to be important for systems using Lan Server or NetWare. Uart testing affected some sensitive mice. This was not a bug but caused some sensitive (older) mice to lock up. The uart testing was changed to reduce the chances of this problem and the UART option was added to assist with these mice by completely avoiding uart testing. 0.90 93/04/07 Beta of initial release with digitizer support disabled. -------------------------------- Coming Soon --------------------------------- No explicit plans have been made at this time. However, some new features under consideration are... An installation program (sending in the options you use will facilitate this feature by providing the necessary information) A Presentation Manager program to allow changing options "on the fly" Possible support for more than three mouse buttons to "kick off" a program or for a button to automatically generate a single or double click (these features might require a Presentation Manager program to be active at all times) Support for additional mice Better "hot plug" support However, none of these new features will be possible unless RODENT.SYS is used by a sufficient number of people who register their copies. So PLEASE register! If you have features you would like to see please send in your suggestions when you register (or at any time, for that matter). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
