  13. Could anyone direct me toward sources of information on programming
  14. joysticks?  This is a topic that none of my programming books seem to care
  15. about.  Actually, the ideal thing would be an already-prepared package
  16. similar to whiskers for mice.  But just information on how to get the
  17. information that the stick is supposed to be sending (even very technical,
  18. like what signals each of the fifteen pins are sending) would be welcome. 
  19. My problem is that I bought a fancy new joystick, which won't work with
  20. the programs that my old cheapie worked with.  Please don't refer me to
  21. BASIC; I don't use that language.  Reply by e-mail; I doubt this topic is
  22. of interest to enough other people to use up bandwidth.
