I can help you with programming the mouse in DOS. I would recommend a book from Microsoft Press entitled The Microsoft Mouse Programmers Reference (or something to that effect). I bought it from a local bookstore for $1. It tells you all about using interrupts to get mouse inputs in DOS. I can give you some more info once I check my files for some old stuff I did that I don't really remember anymore.

There are some old MS Foundation Classes for DOS applications.
I only have some of them, but if you are interested
