  The HGXMOUSE driver provides an enhanced interface for drawing the mouse
cursor in modes the standard mouse drivers do not support.  It supports
a wide range of SuperVGA cards and provides standard mouse cursor drawing 
capabilities for 16, 256, 32k, 64k and TrueColor SuperVGA modes, 
16 and 256 color TweakedVGA modes, and tweaked and standard text modes.  
It also provides the ability to set the cursor foreground and background 
colors, and also the ability to use a bitmap for the mouse pointer.
If your Svga card supports a hardware cursor, HGXMOUSE will use it to
display the mouse cursor.

  Requirements:
	An IBM PC AT or 100% compatible. (286 or better)
	An EGA, VGA or SuperVGA video card.
	A mouse driver (mouse.com or mouse.sys equivalent)

  Features of HGXMOUSE TSR:

    ------------------------------------------
     Text mode graphical cursor driver

      * Normally, the mouse cursor in text mode is represented by a block
      character, which can only be moved in character cell increments.
      HGXMOUSE turns the block character into a graphical pointer (like
      Norton Utilities and other programs) which can be moved in pixel
      increments, but it will work with all existing applications that
      use the software mouse cursor.

      * The default shape of the text mode graphical cursor can be changed 
      with the standard mouse Set Pointer call (int 0x33, function 9).
      The maximum size of the text mode cursor is 16x16.

    ------------------------------------------
     Graphics mode cursor driver

      * The cursor shape can be changed in three ways:
	  a) Set Pointer mouse call (int 0x33, function 0x9).
	  b) Set Large Pointer call (int 0x33, function 0x12).
	     Maximum size of cursor is 32x32.
	  c) Set Bitmap Pointer call (int 0x33, function 0x4508)
	     This function allows you to use a bitmap for the mouse
	     pointer.  The maximum size of the cursor is 32x32.

      * Ability to set the cursor's foreground and background colors

=============================================================================

  Loading the HGXMOUSE TSR.

    The HGXMOUSE TSR is not a replacement for your mouse driver, but an
  extension to it.  Therefore your mouse driver must be loaded before you
  load HGXMOUSE.  Normal mouse functions will work when the HGXMOUSE driver
  is loaded; the extended functions are not active until the driver is 
  initialized.

  TSR Command-line options:

    The HGXMOUSE.EXE TSR supports several command-line options.

   /h, /? : Shows the available command line options.
       /d : Detects and prints the Svga chipset, without installing the TSR.
       /u : Uninstalls the TSR from memory.
       /n : Disables the hardware cursor support.
