VxDcall Int33_API
 
The Int33_API service is called by VMDOSAPP to inform the special mouse
driver the new state of mouse buttons and position for the application being
shown in a window. If the special mouse driver is not installed, then this
call returns with carry flag set. If the API is not provided, then also it
returns with carry flag set.
