5.50

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The Word 5.50 mouse driver for the IBM 8514/a graphics adapter and monitor display (MOUS8514.SYS) is a compressed file that must be decompressed prior to its installation as a device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file.

MOUS8514.SYS File Location —————– ——–

MOUS8514.SYS Utilities 1 disk (5.25-inch disk format) MOUS8514.SYS Utilities disk (3.5-inch disk format)

The compressed file size for MOUS8514.SYS is 18,795 bytes.

This file is the only exception to the file naming convention used for the Word 5.50 files. All compressed files on the original Word disks should contain a dollar sign ($) in the third position of the file extension to indicate that the file is compressed.

MOUS8514.SYS is compressed for disk space considerations, but its extension does not contain a dollar sign ($) so that it can be properly installed in the CONFIG.SYS file by the Setup program (if the IBM 8514/a driver is selected as the graphics adapter type). The IBM 8514/a option is available if you’re running Word for DOS.

= MORE INFORMATION =

It is strongly recommended that the Word 5.50 Setup program be used to ensure that the MOUS8514.SYS device driver is installed properly. Use the following syntax to manually decompress the MOUS8514.SYS file when performing a manual installation of Word:

SETUP /d [drive]:[path]8514.SYS

The uncompressed MOUS8514.SYS file size is 38,994 bytes.
