SFJake: What?
I have no idea why you went on and told me all this, but the mouse works fine in normal DosBox, which is the default game, which supports it (even Y axis) fine.
In the port, its absolutely awful.
Even Doom has proper X axis mouse support. I'm not here to debate if I should use it or not.
The Build games (Shadow Warrior, Duke Nukem 3D, Redneck Rampage, Blood etc.) did not have any z axis. Therefore your mouse look in those games is actually not doing anything much for you, except that if you are accustomed to using the mouse to turn right and left as opposed to just using the arrow or 'A' and 'D' keys (in the WASD configuration, which I never use in any game). I have no idea why you went on and told me all this, but the mouse works fine in normal DosBox, which is the default game, which supports it (even Y axis) fine.

So I don't think he is saying that mouse look does not work. Just that mouse look does not really do anything that cannot be done easier with just arrow keys. Of course for you and anyone else more used to 'modern' controls and games NOT using the mouse might be akin to telling a right handed person to use his left hand to throw a ball.
