I have updated my patches to 2.1.5 so they are up to date to Soren's latest commit, and have packaged them up and made them available for ftp at ftp://ftp.worldgate.com/pub/marcs/2_1_5.syscons-mouse.960905.tar.gz. Directions are included in the tar file. On Mon, 2 Sep 1996, Marc Slemko wrote: > Would anyone be interested in patches to support the below functionality > in 2.1.5?
