Problem:
   After running the mouse setup routine and rebooting my machine, the
mouse driver will not install.

Response:
   Because DOS Version 2.xx does not recognize the path statement in
command lines, such as /mouse1/mouse in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the
mouse driver never installs.
   To work around this, edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to change the
directory to your MOUSE1 subdirectory. Then, directly call the MOUSE
and CPANEL as follows:

  CD \MOUSE1
  MOUSE
  CPANEL
  CD\
