Although a "clean" install of Win 9x does not create a C:\DOS
directory, you can find the equivalents of the old DOS external
commands in C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND. Either way, tho, you need to run the
old DOS-type mouse driver in a DOS window when in a DOS mode.
Biggest headache I've run into when upgrading machines from the
DOS/WIN3 environment to Win 9x is making sure that I have the right
drivers available for the CD-ROM prior to changing or re-formatting
the hard drive! Were it not for the Xircom external LAN adapters & a
lot of practice...

Many thanks to all who responded to my "mouse gone" problem.
A few notes.
When you install WIN'98 over WIN 3.1 (and WIN'95?) The DOS subdirectory and
commands remain intact, including the autoexec.bat and config.sys files.
I had a few problems upgrading from WIN 3.1 to '98 so I had to format the
hard drives and install it clean. ( this can be done with the WIN'98 upgrade
disk, you don't need to pay for the full version, but you will need your
original WIN disk)
When installed "clean", WIN'98 does not have a DOS subdirectory!! No DOS
files, but command.com!!
So as many suggested I will dig up a mouse.com and put it in my CT batch
file or in the now empty autoexec.bat file.
One fellow had a slick suggestion...he said that he opened CT in a DOS
window..arrainged the windows....shut down and ran CT in native DOS...wish I
had thot of that during the SS...
