SUMMARY
=======

Logitech, Inc. has confirmed that the Dexxa mouse requires version 5.0 or later
of the Dexxa mouse driver or version 5.01 or later of the Logitech mouse driver
to work properly with MS-DOS Shell. The Dexxa mouse is no longer manufactured,
although support is still available through the Logitech mouse drivers.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Attempting to use earlier versions of the Dexxa mouse drivers with Shell may
result in an invisible mouse pointer, a distorted mouse pointer, or no mouse
pointer at all. The names of the Dexxa mouse drivers are MOUSE.COM and
MOUSE.SYS, which are the same as those used for the Logitech mouse.

For additional information or to receive the updated drivers, contact Logitech
technical support. The most recent Logitech Mouse drivers are also available
from Logitech's bulletin board.

The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft;
we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance
or reliability.
