Interface to GPM (General Purpose Mouse) library

`uses`
`System,` |  | The system unit
`BaseUnix;` |  | Basic Unix functionality

## Overview

The GPM unit implements an interface to libgpm, the console program for mouse handling. This unit was created by Peter Vreman, and is only available on Linux.

When this unit is used, your program is linked to the C libraries, so you must take care of the C library version. Also, it will only work with version 1.17 or higher of the libgpm library.
