[PEDA] Mouse Scroll Wheel in Protel 99SE/Dual Screens

[ajenkins@avtron.com]

Um, guys...We're talking _protel_, not microsoft, and not most other
pro-level software companies, who would be ground to dust if their
software were as schizo as Protel. No question that Protel EDA was a
phenomenal idea, but then the profiteers got wind of the company before
the technocrats could get a sensible grip. Oh well, it's a favorite
anyway.
