[comp.lang.pascal] Turbo Pascal and Joystick Ports

I have to read a value off of my joystick port for a project I'm doing on my
PC. However, the only way I know to read it is to use the BASIC "stick"
command. I'd like to avoid that, however, as the overhead would be formidable.
I have Turbo C and Turbo Assembler, as well as TP, so if the solution is in
either of those languages I should be able to link it in without too much
trouble. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

On a secondary note, how much does a posting actually cost the net? I know
this has absolutely nothing to do with Pascal, but I'm getting curious.

Thanks in advance..
