This is XLIB the mode X graphics library. There is no organization to the
files in this archive; that is left up to each users preferences.

Famous last words 😉

"This is the last version I intend to release, unless of course someone has
something really nifty they'd like to contribute."

MOUSE TIP:

Theres a slight design flaw in the mouse driver and lots of people have had
problems with mouse droppings in the lower RH corner of the screen. This
happens under some circulstances because the code does not clip the saved
background as is done for the cursor graphic itself so bits of the mouse
graphic stored in the video ram just below the visual page get picked up into
the background.

To bypass this problem is simple when you know how. If you are having this
problem insert NonVisual_Offs+=ScrnLogicalByteWidth*14 just before the call
to x_init_mouse.

Sorry about not fixing the problem more elegantly, but I didn't want to
do any major work on the mouse driver.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
