;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides access to mouse event as reported by the gpm-Linux
;; package. It tries to reproduce the functionality offered by Emacs under X.
;; The "gpm" server runs under Linux, so this package is rather
;; Linux-dependent.

;; The file, t-mouse.el was originally written by Alessandro Rubini and Ian T
;; Zimmerman, and Emacs communicated with gpm through a client program called
;; mev.  Now the interface with gpm is directly through a Unix socket, so this
;; file is reduced to a single minor mode macro call.
