The mouse functionality is baked into the ProVision kernel and the mouse wont' work in anything above NT. I think they may have used some code from Funcky in the ProVision kernel. I wsa wondering if anyone has found a way to make ths work. Tried these: tweak setting on the PIF, DOSbox utility (not bad but won't talk to Advantage server it seems
and of course, Virtual PC (Works but $$$)

What I'd like to try is a more modern PWKernel.lib to compilr in, or hear from someone who has managed to insert a newer version of Funcy that night deal with this problem

It's fun dealing with legacy systems. You never knows out there.

Thanks ALL

The problem you have described can be solved by relinking the program using Blinker 6.0 or newer.

Thanks DTracy. I'm using Blinker 5.0 at the moment and had heard from another source that a newer version of Blinker might fix the problem. I've ordered Blinker 7.0 and am hoping for the best.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
