No idea, I wrote my own lib.

Yes! A wicked cool hip and happening library by Joel Hunter. This lib
is so sexy my cat fancied it. Apart from that it has saved us being about 2 weeks
late for a dead-line. Um you can get it from ftp.delorie.com in contrib directory.

Don't know.

Well Shawn Hargreeves has an excellent lib which does keyboard stuff
and mouse and I have joystick routines put 'em together and what have
you got? If you want either lib I can supply them.

I have just switched over and apart from a couple of niggly-niggles I have
found V2 to "feel" much more solid and it also appears that the resultant
code runs a fair bit faster (I gained 25% in some places).

Um check out one of the simtel archives.
