1.   WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE

     MouseWare 6.32 works with any Logitech compatible and
     Microsoft compatible pointing devices.  This release
     has several features which makes it easier to use a
     built-in trackball common on many notebook computers.


1.1  One-Step Installation

     If you are installing MouseWare for both DOS and
     Windows, you can install the complete software all in
     Windows, without being in DOS.  Please make sure you
     run install from within Windows to get full Windows
     support.


1.2  MouseWare on the Go

     Whether you use a trackball on the road or a mouse back
     in the office, MouseWare can detect which mouse you are
     using and adjust the Acceleration, Mouse Speed, Button
     Swap and Orientation options according to your
     preferences.


1.3  Windows Control Center

     The Windows Mouse Control Center (enhanced package) has
     a new Smart Move feature.  When enabled, the cursor
     automatically goes to the default push button when a
     dialog or message box appears.  See the section "Smart
     Move Feature".

     Three new Acceleration settings are selectable via the
     DOS Mouse Control Center and Windows Mouse Control
     Center (enhanced package).  Acceleration causes the
     cursor to move greater or lesser distance depending on
     how quickly you move your mouse.


1.4  Windows Shortcuts

     The Windows Mouse Control Center sets the middle button
     to perform a Double-Click, by default.  Running an
     application becomes as simple as moving the cursor over
     the application icon, then clicking the middle button.
     However, if you are upgrading from MouseWare 6.00 or
     above and already have button shortcut(s) assigned, it
     will preserve your existing button(s) setting.

     The new Home Cursor shortcut has been added to the
     Windows Mouse Control Center (enhanced package).  When
     assigned to a button, clicking on that button causes
     the cursor to jump to the middle of the screen.  This
     feature is especially useful on monochrome monitors
     where it is sometimes difficult to locate the cursor.

     The Drag Lock feature can now be assigned to the middle
     and/or right buttons.  The left (primary) button will
     be dragged.  Drag lock lets you drag an object without
     having to hold down a mouse button as you move the
     mouse.

     The Keyboard Override for temporarily disabling the
     Windows shortcuts is the Control key, by default.
     While pressing the Control key and clicking the
     assigned button(s), the Windows shortcuts will be
     disabled except for the Drag Lock feature.  See the
     section "Changing the Keyboard Override".


1.5  Windows Help

     A redesigned Windows Help is included in the release.


1.6  DOS/Windows Mouse Drivers

     Both the DOS and Windows mouse drivers now use a mouse
     configuration file MOUSEDRV.INI.  This makes it
     possible for both drivers to save their mouse settings
     and to behave similarly.  The settings can also be
     changed via the DOS and Windows Mouse Control Centers.

     Advanced Power Management, which help conserve battery
     power in laptops/notebooks is added.

     Both the DOS and Windows mouse drivers can use COM3 and
     COM4.  See the section "How to Attach the Mouse to COM3
     or COM4".

     The DOS mouse parameters BON, BOFF, BLOW, and BHIGH are
     no longer supported.  Use the AOFF, ALOW, AMEDIUM, and
     AHIGH parameters.  DLEFT is no longer supported.  See
     MOUSEDRV.TXT for more information on the mouse
     parameters.


1.7  DOS Utilities

     In previous releases the DOS Mouse Control Center was a
     terminate stay resident (TSR) program named CLICK.EXE.
     In this release, CLICK.EXE has been renamed to
     MOUSECC.EXE, and is no longer a TSR.

     The DOS Mouse Control Center can read/write to
     Microsoft's MOUSE.INI file.  This happens when the
     Microsoft's mouse driver is loaded when running the DOS
     Mouse Control Center.


2.   INSTALLATION NOTES

2.1  Installing Over a Previous Version of MouseWare

     With MouseWare 6.32, a new  group is created to include
     the new program icons.

     Under Windows 3.1, the  Mouse Control Center can be
     accessed via Windows' Control Panel.  If you've
     installed MouseWare 6.32 over a previous version of
     MouseWare, you need to restart Windows in order for the
     Control Panel to use the new  Mouse Control Center.

     Under Windows 3.0, the  Mouse icon was placed under the
     program group "Main".  After installing MouseWare 6.32,
     please delete the previous icon.  To determine which is
     mouse icons to delete, view the file properties of
     each.  The old Control Center was copied to the LMOUSE
     directory under your Windows directory, while the new
     Control Center is copied to the C:\MOUSE directory by
     default.


2.2  Uninstalling a Previous Version of MouseWare

     To remove a previous version of MouseWare from your
     disk, first install MouseWare 6.32.  At the end of the
     installation process, reboot your system so that the
     new mouse drivers will be used.  To remove the old
     MouseWare Windows software:

       DEL C:\WINDOWS\LMOUSE\*.*
       RD C:\WINDOWS\LMOUSE
       DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LMOUSE.DRV
       DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LVMD.386
       DEL C:\WINDOWS\LMOUSE.DLL

     This example assumes the Windows directory is named
     C:\WINDOWS.

     To remove the old MouseWare DOS files:

       DEL C:\MOUSE\CLICK.EXE

     This examples assumes the old MouseWare software is
     located in the C:\MOUSE directory.


2.3  Manually Decompressing Application Files

     Several files on the installation disk have been
     compressed.  These files must be decompressed before
     you can use them.  The INSTALL program automatically
     decompresses these files during installation.  However,
     should the need arise, we have provided a method for
     you to manually decompress these files. Compressed
     files have file names that end with "%".  To decompress
     a file manually, use the LGEXPAND.EXE utility provided
     on the installation disk.

     For example, to decompress the file "MOUSE.SY%" to your
     hard disk, type:

       A:\lgexpand A:\MOUSE.SY% C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.SYS

     Please make sure that the destination directory
     (C:\MOUSE in this example) exists before you issue this
     command.


2.4  Installing the Mouse for DOS 4.0/5.0 Shell Program

     The DOS mouse driver should be loaded prior to the DOS
     DOSShell and not within a DOS box.  Also Windows 3.x
     should not be launched from a DOS DOSShell.  This may
     result in loss of mouse functionality under Windows
     3.x.


3.   OS/2 Support

3.1  Installing to OS/2 2.1

     OS/2 2.1 has 3-button support for Logitech serial and
     PS/2 mouse, and 2-button support for Logitech bus
     mouse.  OS/2 2.1 should automatically detect and
     support the Logitech mouse connected to your system
     when OS/2 is installed.  If your Logitech mouse does
     not work properly after installing OS/2, you will have
     to manually select the proper Logitech mouse driver.
     Please follow these steps to correct the problem:

       1) Determine the type of mouse you are using. If you
          have a PS/2 or bus mouse skip down to part 2. If
          you have a Logitech serial mouse you need to know
          if it is M-series or C-Series. Look at the bottom
          of your mouse, if it says "CA", "CC", "CE" or "C7"
          then you own a C-Series mouse, otherwise, you own
          an M-Series mouse.

         e.g. C-Series
         MODEL NO. C7
         MODEL NO. CA

         e.g. M-Series
         M/N: M-CJ13
         M/N: M-MB11

       2) Double click the OS/2 System icon.
       3) Double click the System Setup icon.
       4) Double click the Selective Install icon.
       5) Select the Mouse option and press Enter.
       6) If you are using a PS/2 or M-Series serial mouse
          you may select any of the following: "PS/2 [tm]
          Style Pointing Device", "Serial Pointing Device",
          "Logitech M-Series Mouse".
       7) Select the entry "Bus Style Mouse" if you have a
          bus mouse.
       8) If you have a Logitech C-series mouse and are
          running OS/2 version 2.1, select "Logitech [tm] C-
          Series Serial Mouse".  If, instead, you are
          running version 2.0, choose "Logitech [tm] Mouse".


3.2  Win-OS/2 2.x Support

     In Win-OS/2 full screen mode, full functionality is
     available. To install MouseWare 6.32 under Win-OS/2:
       1) Double click the "Command Prompts" icon on the
          OS/2 desktop.
       2) Double click on the "Win-OS/2 full screen" icon.
       3) Run the "INSTALL" program from the MouseWare 6.32
          diskette.

     When running Windows applications from the OS/2 desktop
     the acceleration and speed sensitivity features will be
     disabled.

     Do not run Win-OS/2 from a DOS box while running
     MouseWare 6.32, your mouse will not function properly
     under these circumstances.


3.3  DOS Under OS/2 2.x

     MouseWare 6.3 DOS functionality will not be available
     in DOS under OS/2. Your mouse will be controlled by
     OS/2.


4.   Windows NT Support

     Do not install MouseWare 6.32 in Windows NT.  Use the
     Logitech mouse driver included in the Windows NT
     release.  This driver has full support for all the
     Logitech pointing devices.  To change the mouse
     settings, run the Windows NT control panel.


5.   DOS/WINDOWS DRIVER TECHNICAL NOTES

5.1  How to Attach the Mouse to COM3 or COM4

     MouseWare supports COM3 and COM4.  For instance, if you
     are connecting your mouse to COM3 using IRQ11 and base
     address 338 hex, you should make the following
     modifications in the MOUSEDRV.INI file:

       [Global]
       SearchOrder=Serial, PS2, Bus, Inport
       PortSearchOrder=COM3, COM1, COM2
       Connection=Serial
       ConnectionPort=COM3

       [COM3]
       BaseAddress=338
       IRQValue=11

     Note:  The COM port must be supported by your
     computer's configuration.  The mouse driver cannot
     configure the COM ports for you.  This value must match
     those used by Windows' PORTS Control Panel.


5.2  MOUSEDRV.INI Parameters

     See MOUSEDRV.TXT for more information on the mouse
     configuration file.


5.3  Enabling LVESA.OVL

     By default, the install program sets the mouse to use
     cursor enhancements.  To disable cursor enhancements
     and to enable LVESA.OVL for SuperVGA support, use the
     'NOCENHANCE' parameter on the first call to the DOS
     mouse driver:

       MOUSE NOCENHANCE

     You should see the following text when LVESA.OVL is
     correctly loaded:

       Video module loaded:  <drive>:<path>\LVESA.OVL
       Logitech VESA compatible video overlay

     Once this is done, the setting is saved.


5.4  Loading the Mouse Driver High

     For the mouse driver to load in high memory it must
     have enough memory to load straight from disk.  The
     mouse drivers size on disk is at least 56K.  The room
     needed to load from disk into high memory must be at
     least 56K.

     Once the driver has initialized it frees a large
     portion of memory.  The remaining size in memory is 16K
     to 21K.

     All programs that are loaded high must be loaded into
     memory with their full size intact.

     Sometimes the loading order can make a difference.  If
     the mouse driver is loaded first and smaller programs
     are loaded last then the driver would load high
     properly.


6.   DOS/WINDOWS UTILITIES TECHNICAL NOTES

6.1  Smart Move Feature

     When Smart Move is enabled, the cursor automatically
     goes to the default push button when a dialog or
     message box appears.  For some applications that use
     non-standard dialog boxes and/or non-standard buttons,
     this feature may not work all the time.

     If the dialog box does not have a default command
     button, Smart Move moves the cursor to the first button
     it finds.  The cursor is not moved if it cannot find a
     button.  If you prefer to have the cursor move to the
     center, or upper left corner of the dialog box if no
     button is found, use a text editor like Notepad and
     edit the file MOUSECC.INI.

       [Button Assignments]
       MoveTo=Center
           or
       MoveTo=TopLeft

     To set it back to default, remove the "MoveTo=" line.


6.2  Changing the Keyboard Override

     The Keyboard Override for temporarily disabling the
     Windows shortcuts is the Control key, by default.  If
     you would like to change it to the Shift key or set it
     to none, use a text editor like Notepad and edit the
     file MOUSECC.INI.

       [Button Assignments]
       Disabler=Shift
           or
       Disabler=Off

     To set it back to default, remove the "Disabler=" line.


7.   TROUBLESHOOTING

7.1  Installation Problems

     Before running INSTALL, please make sure you have at
     least 20 file handles in your CONFIG.SYS.  Add this
     line to your CONFIG.SYS if not already present:

       FILES=20


7.2  Restoring old AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI and
     SYSTEM.INI

     The installation program saves these files with the
     .LGI extension in the directory of the original file.


7.3  Bus Mouse Conflict

     If you have a Bus Mouse with its jumper set on IRQ 2,
     you may experience compatibility problems when starting
     Windows.  Some video boards (EGA, VGA) may use IRQ 2.
     The problem can be solved by changing the IRQ selection
     jumper on your Bus board to another interrupt not in
     use.  Consult your video user's manual for more
     information.


7.4  Mouse Detection Problems

     Mouse connected to the mouse port (PS/2 port):

     If your mouse is connected to the mouse port and is not
     detected by the system, attempt the following step(s):

       1)Your mouse port might need to be enabled through
          the SETUP menu of your computer (please check with
          the documentation of your computer on the usage of
          SETUP menu).

       2)If you have a mouse with both serial and mouse
          port adapters, connect it to the computer through
          the serial port.  Reboot and check if the mouse is
          detected properly.

       3)If you must connect the mouse through the mouse
          port, add the following modification to the
          MOUSEDRV.INI file, reboot and check if the mouse
          is detected properly:

       [Technical]
       ForcePS2EquipmentFlag=On

     If the problem persists, please check for a possible
     computer BIOS ROM upgrade from your computer
     manufacturer.

     Mouse connected to the serial port:

     If your mouse is connected to the serial port and is
     not detected by the system, add the following
     modification to the MOUSEDRV.INI file, reboot and check
     if the mouse is detected properly:

       [Technical]
       Timing=Software

     For more information on MOUSEDRV.INI, please refer to
     MOUSEDRV.TXT.


7.5  Renaming Installed Directory

     If you accidentally renamed your MOUSE directory
     without modifying the Windows INI files, it may cause
     Windows to not run at all, because it would not be able
     to find the Mouse Drivers.  You should then run INSTALL
     from the MouseWare diskette, follow the instructions to
     re-install, and make sure you select installing also
     the Windows Drivers.
     
7.6  Toshiba T3400 and T3400CT sub-notebook

     Mouse connected to the mouse port (PS/2 port):
     
     If the "pointing device mode" parameter in the computer's
     setup is set to "simultaneous", an external mouse 
     connected to the mouse port will be identified as a generic 
     two-button mouse. If this external mouse has three buttons, 
     the following modifications should be made to the 
     MOUSEDRV.INI file:

        [PS2]
        NumberOfButtons=3
        ButtonMapping=3Key

     The connected device model may also be specified. For more 
     information on the MOUSEDRV.INI file, please refer to the 
     MOUSEDRV.TXT file.
