I have recently acquired a copy of MS C 4.0 for my 6300 but have
encountered a problem using the debugger CodeView with my mouse. I
am using a Mouse Systems PC Mouse with the MS Mouse driver that makes
it compatible with the MS Mouse. This setup works with most other
software I have tried including MS Windows. If I invoke the cv with
cv /w filename.c
The mouse works but the cursor is invisible, ie, if I click left I
set a breakpoint I just don't know what line it will be on till I do
it, and if I go up enough I can get the menus, ... If I invoke cv as
cv /w/s filename.c
to request swapped screens rather than flipped, I get the cursor and
everything works fine until I swap screens to see program output and
return, THEN the cursor has turned invisible again and I have never
gotten it back without exiting and rerunning cv. A possibly related
problem is that on exiting cv my DOS cursor has disappeared and must
be restored with mode or ...
What's going on? Why do I need to use swap? Why does the cursor
go away? Is there a solution? I like the debugger but this problem
makes my mouse nearly useless.
