I misremembered the name of the zip file.  It was actually 
ADOSV12.ZIP.  I think Steve Nickolas identified it correctly.  But I 
was unaware that Microsoft distributed ADOS on a supplemental pgms 
diskette.

There was also a set of accessibility drivers (including MouseKeys) 
for W3.1x.  IINM, the pgmrs at TRACE (@ Univ. of Wisconsin) created 
both ADOS and those W3.1x accessibility drivers.

You understand correctly.

For pgms that will not work without a mouse:

FreeDOS + a PC without a mouse = no go

Thanks.  I downloaded it.  I looked at it briefly and it *does* look 
interesting.  I'll have to setup a PC with FreeDOS again to test it.
