Hi Bill. Not that ISC VP/ix 1.10 doesn't have bugs, but at least
the mouse works fine for me. I've used it in PC Paint Plus and in
Leisure Suit Larry 2 - Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places. My
mouse is a serial mouse, maybe bus mice don't work? Or maybe ISC
has a better incarnation of VP/ix?
I have seen weird things, though. Like can't emulate instruction,
or something like that. That only happened in the gangway to the
airplane in LSL2. Consistently. I had to boot real DOS, go down
the gangway, save the game, and then I finished the game under VP/ix.
Actually, my biggest gripe has been with the DOS applications. They
seem to insist upon A-F being the only valid drive letters. Z isn't
a choice.
