Command: ctmouse (Cutemouse)

  CTMOUSE (CuteMouse) is the FreeDOS mouse driver.

Syntax:

  ctmouse [options]
  LH ctmouse [options]
  LOADHIGH ctmouse [options]

Options:

  /3        force 3-button mode (for Microsoft and PS/2 mice only).
  /B        Cancel run if mouse services are already present.
  /L        Swap left and right button.
  /M        Try *old* Mouse Systems / Genius for non-PnP mice.
  /N        Load CuteMouse as new TSR, even if CuteMouse is already
            loaded (useful for batch files which unload CuteMouse
            at end).
  /O        Enable PS2 and BIOS USB wheel detection (might hang).
  /P        Force PS/2 mouse mode, do not probe serial ports.
  /R[h[v]]  Horizontal / vertical resolution: h,v = 1-9, or 0 for auto.
            (no value = use default: auto for h, or "as h" for v).
  /S[c[i]]  Force serial mouse mode at COM port c (c=1-4, default is
            COM1) with IRQ line i (i=2-7, default is IRQ4 for COM 1/3
            and IRQ3 for COM 2/4).
  /U        Uninstall driver, remove TSR from memory.
  /V        Reverse search: find PS/2 after serial mouse.
  /Y        Forces serial mouse search, but, unlike option /S, doesn't
            disable PS/2 support.
  /W        Do not allow CuteMouse to move itself into UMB.
  /?        Shows the help.

Comments:

  CTMOUSE usually also runs with USB mice. It even works in virtual
  machines.
  CTMOUSE can be loaded in CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS or in
  AUTOEXEC.BAT / FDAUTO.BAT or in command line.
  CTMOUSE2 is a new branching of CuteMouse which supports the mouse
  wheel. It provides a wheel API (application programmer's interface),
  so that FreeDOS programs can use the mouse wheel.

  CTMOUSE does not support NLS (national language support) but there
  exist versions in different languages. You can download them at the
  links below.
