I just got a joystick for my ATT 6300. It seems to work fine, but I would like to get an idea of how it performs. What I am looking for is a simple program that helps calibrate the joystick and it's settings. I would imagine that all it does is put a pointer of sorts on the screen and helps to show what happens when you move and how it moves. Also, when you move to a corner, and let it go, should the pointer snap back to the middle of the screen, or dos it just stay there? I'm kinda interested in it's action so I can better understand it. Thanks in advance. -- Cogito Ergo Zoom Chaste makes waste "Intelligence without character is a dangerous thing" (G. Steinem) Dave B. (no relation to Adam West) {ihnp4,allegra,ulysses}!whuts!dab
