Installation MOUSEBUF.PRG

Paint is shipped with a TOS program which will be explained in this chapter.

The program MOUSEBUF.PRG has to be copied into the AUTO folder of the boot partition in your TOS system. It is a driver which buffers the mouse pointer movements when you paint in Calamus documents using the Paint module. If there is an ASGARD compatible graphics tablet driver installed, then you should not copy this file.

Installation in the Calamus WinPack

• Start your Windows registry editor by calling the entry "Run" from your Windows Start menu. Enter "regedit" there.
• Find the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Seneca\calamus.
• Check whether there is an entry called AUTOPATH in the right area of this registry key. If not, create one by rightclicking in the right window area. Select the popup menu entry "New: String" and call the new entry "HOMEPATH". Then assign the path to your program Calamus.EXE as the value for this entry, e.g. "C:\Program Files\Calamus\".
• Close the registry editor now.
• Start Calamus while pressing the [Ctrl] key.
• Now the dialog "Calamus parameters" opens. Switch OFF the switch "No AUTO folder / Accessories" in the section "Settings"!
• You might want to save this change: Click the Save button at the left bottom of this dialog.
• Now continue starting your Calamus with a click on "OK".
