CALLING THE POOR MANS MOUSE FROM DOS
Type at the DOS System prompt PMM [#####] where ##### is a user definable
typematic speed for the mouse.
I suggest the default value be used. If a small value is given, the debounce
of the joystick buttons is affected causing multiple characters to be outputed
by holding the button down too long. Also the speed of the mouse at slow speed
becomes almost equal to the full speed.
**********WARNING**********
DO NOT RELOAD THE POOR MANS MOUSE WITHOUT FIRST RE-BOOTING THE SYSTEM AS THE
SYSTEM WILL HANG.
FEATURES OF THE POOR MANS MOUSE

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
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/
