Syntax for protocol.com is not explained.

Manual offers no detailed explanation on the many versions of the CuteMouse executables. For example, when running the debug executable, how to decipher the debug messages? What kind of language does each CuteMouse driver executable provides? Will running the debug executable affect memory consumption?

The CTM-xx drivers provide language xx, the CTMOUSE driver uses English. as already mentioned in the documentation.

The debug messages are for use in combination with the source code or for sending debug info to people who use the source code - extra memory use for debugging is small.

Current debug message syntax is lessthan-digit1-slash-digit2-space/exclam-digit3-slash-digit4-greaterthan where digit1 is the low part of AX on int 15.c20n call and digit2 is the low part of BH. Digit3 and 4 are the lower half of AH and BH on return from int 15.c20n. However, this debug message syntax can change over time without announcement.
