  Here's the spec for a 16 bit DOS mouse interface using Janus Ada 83.
I'll e-mail the body if you want.
with System;

package Mouse is
-- low level mouse driver interface
-- uses int33 functions
--   16#00#: reset
--   16#01#: show cursor
--   16#02#: hide cursor
--   16#03#: get mouse position and button status
--   16#04#: set mouse cursor position
--   16#07#: set min/max horizontal position
--   16#08#: set min/max vertical position
--   16#09#: set graphics cursor block

  -- This is set True or False by calls on Reset.
  -- There is an automatic call on Reset at package initialization time.
  -- All mouse operations are NOPs if not Driver_Present
  Driver_Present: Boolean := False;

  type State is record
    X,
    Y       : Integer;
    Left_Button,
    Middle_Button,
    Right_Button: Boolean;
  end record;

  -- x,y measured in mickeys
  -- button flags are true iff button is currently depressed
  Current : State := (X | Y => 0,
                      Left_Button | Middle_Button | Right_Button => False);

  procedure Check; -- updates Current
  -- The public record 'current' is used, rather than having 'out'
  -- parameters to the 'check' routine, for simplicity and efficiency.
  -- There is no way with this interface to have more than one mouse
  -- per OS task, so the generality of out parameters, or a generic
  -- mouse package, would be spurious.

  procedure Reset;

  procedure Hide_Cursor;

  procedure Show_Cursor;

  procedure Horizontal_Range(Min,
                             Max     : in     Natural);

  procedure Vertical_Range(Min,
                           Max     : in     Natural);

  type Graphic_Cursor_Bits is array (Integer range <>) of System.Word;

  subtype Normal_Graphic_Cursor_Bits is Graphic_Cursor_Bits(0 .. 15);

  subtype Hot_Spot_Offsets is Integer range - 16 .. 16;

  procedure Set_Graphic_Cursor_Words(Screen_Mask: in  Graphic_Cursor_Bits;
                                     Cursor_Mask: in  Graphic_Cursor_Bits;
                                     X_Hot_Spot : in  Hot_Spot_Offsets;
                                     Y_Hot_Spot : in  Hot_Spot_Offsets);

  procedure Set_Cursor_Position(X,
                                Y       : in     Integer);

end Mouse;
