Mouse Odometer Version 1.0

Ever wonder how much mileage your mouse accumulates?
The Mouse Odometer keeps track of how far the mouse cursor moves
and allows you to relate that to how far you actually move the
mouse on your desk.
The first thing to do is to choose Preferences from the
Odometer menu. In the dialog box which appears, enter the distance
that your mouse travels in order to move the cursor vertically
and horizontally across the screen. The default value is
three inches which is appropriate for most mice.
Best way to determine the values is to move the cursor to the left
side of the screen then mark the position where your mouse is
on your mouse pad. Then move the mouse horizontally until the mouse
is at the left side of the screen and then see how far the mouse
travelled. Enter the distance, in inches, into the dialog box and
then do the same for the vertical distance.
When you start the Mouse Odometer, the default unit of measurement
is in terms of pixels. You can also specify inches, feet, miles,
centimeters, meters or kilometers.

If you are running Windows 3.1, it's a good idea to put the
Mouse Odometer in your start up group. The Odometer remembers the
distance travelled from one Windows session to another so you can
see how far your mouse travels in a week or a month, etc.
You can reset the Odometer by selecting Reset Counter from the
Odometer menu.
