I'm posting the following for a co-worker (Mike Robinson) who does not have
Usenet write access.  Replies may be posted, or email'd to me.

Thanks!

  Are there any programs which map the joystick to the keyboard arrow keys?
 
  There are many programs (PACMAN87 comes to mind) which insist upon using
  the joystick, but the joystick actually gives very poor control because
  of the time that it takes the stick to move.  Keyboard arrow keys would
  give much more precise control, but these programs don't support this.
  In the spirit of DMOUSE and so forth, does there exist any program which
  would, upon demand, intercept keystrokes and generate simulated joystick
  events?  This would automagically graft the support that I want onto the
  programs that I have.  Has anyone done this?  Is it possible to do?
