CuteMouse is a mouse driver, which support many mouse protocols.
Basically it was written to use as small amount of memory as possible.
The amount of memory it needs is about 5k. It tries to install itself
into upper memory first if availbale, so do not load high them with
external utilities (like DOS lh command).

These drivers support standard Microsoft, Mouse Systems, Logitech MouseMan
and PS/2 protocols. There are two separate programs to achieve the smallest
memory requirement possible.

- The first driver autodetects the mouse, but if you're inpatient or the
  detection fails, it is possible to force a specific mode with command line
  options.
- The second driver is for PS/2 only.

Help can be obtained with the '/?' command line option.

These programs are under the GPL license.

This driver is part of the FreeDOS project now at http://www.freedos.org
