PROGRAM DESCRIPTION * Loads your mouse into the "virtual" Mode. * 2 or 3 button mouse or trackball support. * works with enhanced keyboards. 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. mouse movement - sends arrow (cursor) key presses left button - sends ÄÙ (enter) key right button - sends Esc (escape) key middle button - sends Del key (if 3 button mouse ) left + right buttons at the same time - sends F1 key (F10 key if /t command line switch is used when installing VIRUAMOS ) User's Reference Guide ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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\.sys And the example line in autoexec.bat: c:\util\VIRUAMOS If your mouse driver is named mouse.com, msmouse.com or something similar, 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\ 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 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).
