Re: [cc65] Mouse API Proposals

Hi Uz,

First of all thanks for your comprehensive explanation :-)

Still it seems somewhat weird to me but I can follow your arguments -
and after all you invented the architecture so you should know best
;-)

I see.

Okay.

As far as I can see the only targets with mouse support are c64, c128
and apple2(enh). So if you implement the CBM "text mouse" drivers,
I'll check out the way your organize things (one source, two targets)
and will implement it analogous for the Apple II.

One question left though: Should the new c128 and apple2(enh) mouse
drivers be able to accomodate 40/80 col switching on the fly or detect
the videomode only on INSTALL?

Best, Oliver
