			      Feel free to distribute!



	Files:

		MOUSE.BAS	The code for all of the Mouse functions/subs
		MOUSE.BI	The include file for the above
		MOUSE.OBJ	The compiled object code for MOUSE.BAS
		MOUSE.LIB	The library created from MOUSE.OBJ & QB.LIB
		MOUSE.QLB	The QuickLibrary for use in the QB environment
		MOUSE.DOC	This documentation file
		BITMAP.BAS	Code for a simple bitmap editor
		BITMAP.EXE	Executable for the simple bitmap editor
		BITMAPS.TXT	Several pre-made bitmaps, ready for use
		TEST.BAS	Code for a program to show all pre-made bitmaps
		TEST.EXE	Executable for the bitmap testing program



	Note: These functions/subroutines were written using Microsoft
QuickBasic version 4.5.

	

	To use these Mouse functions/subroutines, include MOUSE.BI at the
top of your code:

		' $INCLUDE: 'mouse.bi'

	Then, compile your code.  Then, the easiest thing to do is just
link in the MOUSE.LIB library (type "mouse.lib" at the linker's libraries
prompt).  That should do it for you...
	You could also, instead, link the MOUSE.OBJ object code with your
compiled object code, plus link in the QB.LIB library (supplied with
QuickBasic).

	To use these functions/subroutines within the QB environment, you
must start QB like this: "qb /L mouse".  This loads the MOUSE.QLB
QuickLibrary.

	

	Read the comments in the code for much more information...




	These functions/subroutines are distributed as Public Domain
software.  Feel free to do what you like with the code.  But, if you
are going to distribute copies, I ask that you distribute my original
unmodified versions, OR state clearly in the code (and this DOC file)
that you modified the code and what you modified.  Thank you...


NOTE: If you were directed to this doc from a search engine, and
are wondering how to get the actual files, just go to
"http://www.magrathea.com/~ras/utils.html"; there is a link
there to the .ZIP file containing all of the above files...
