Dear All,
	Why is it the simplest things cause me grief, whereas writing
complex routines takes me 20 minutes and they work 2nd go?

	Just sussing out how to read the joystick, should be easy enough,
do some "stuff" with the "bits" in 0x0201 I thought (based on PCGPE). No
such bloody luck. When I do an inport the value I get only changes when
I press ctrl on the keyboard, nothing from the joystick. I was only doing
a quick check for the fire buttons, not worrying about directions to start
with (ha should take 3 mins I thought, HA).

	Could somebody please point out my incredibly stupid
mistake?Posting here not r.g.p as there may be some difference with DJGPP
although I have no idea what that could be.

	Nigel "I'm not even worth flaming" Hughes
