A simple utility that can modernize your Warcraft: Orcs & Humans experience.

From the creator:
Warcraft Mouse Helper v1.2 for Warcraft: Orcs & Humans (1994) by Blizzard Entertainment

This Windows utility allows for better mouse control in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans when played in DOSBox under Windows. It runs in the background while you're playing and maps the game's built-in keyboard commands to the right and middle mouse buttons and the mouse wheel. This allows you to give context sensitive orders with the mouse buttons (like in more modern RTSes) instead of using keyboard commands or mousing over to the command bar. It also allows for clicking and dragging to select multiple units without having to hold down the Ctrl key. Finally, it allows for scrolling the map with both the mouse wheel and the WASD keys, as well as other minor convenience features.

Features:
* Left click and drag to draw selection boxes around multiple units without having to hold down the Ctrl key.
* Right click to order units to attack or harvest/transport goods (or move, in most cases).
(Can also be used when the town center is selected to build walls and cancel structure placement)
* Middle click to order units to repair or explicitly move (without attacking or harvesting).
(Can also be used when the town center is selected to build roads)
* Middle click and hold to auto-select units and structures as you mouse over them (for quickly checking health).
* Move the mouse wheel up/down/left/right to scroll around the map.
(A horizontal scrolling mouse wheel and Windows Vista or later are required for scrolling left/right)
* Hold Shift while scrolling down/up or use the 4th/5th mouse buttons to scroll left/right.
(For mice without horizontal scrolling mouse wheels or pre-Vista machines)
* Press WASD to scroll around the map (can be disabled).
* Press Esc to open the game's Options menu (which, normally, requires pressing F10).
* Press F6-F8 and F10-F12 a second time to toggle their functions off (rather than having to press a different key to).
* Press Shift + F10 to show and hide this list.
* Press Shift + F11 to toggle scrolling with WASD.
* Press Shift + F12 to toggle auto-selecting units and structures while holding middle click.
* Press and hold Backspace to delete characters until released (rather than needing to press it repeatedly).
* Press Pause/Break to pause and un-pause the helper (disabling and re-enabling all above features).
