DOS ain't dead

DOS mouse driver could convert wheel to arrow keypresses (Miscellaneous)

It has occurred to me - must have occurred to others before - that it would be
very useful to have the wheel mouse driver (optionally) convert messages
generated by the roulette into series of Up/DownArrow keyboard scancodes for
use with the overwhelming majority of DOS programs being unaware of the
wheel.

Unless I missed one, CTMouse is the sole wheel aware mouse driver for DOS,
and unless I missed smthng again, it doesn't have the suggested functionality :(


Do CTMouse maintainers hang out this way ? What about the idea ?
