I apologize if this has been asked before but can anyone direct me to or send me a mouse driver that will allow joystick input. I have some programs that would really run nice with a mouse but I don't have the money to invest in one now. Please reply by e-mail, thanks!

I have a 'psuedo- mouse' which plugs into the joystick port of my Tandy. About the only program which this works like a real mouse with is DeskMate (which I hardly ever use). I would break down and buy a real mouse, but then I'd have to buy a serial port as well, which I don't want to do because I only have one expansion slot left and I'm saving that for a hard drive controller. So, please send me any info on such a driver as well (or just post it). Thanks. ||=========================================================================|| || Robert A.

I found that this driver will allow me to run things like Autocad and PC-Paint using the joystick or Joymouse<?>. Just copy JOY.SYS to your drive and put DEVICE=JOY.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file. I am sorry I cannot find the specifics on which Deskmate had this driver (It was a long time ago). I do know that the newer Deskmate now has its own built in drivers (ones after the 1000 SX Family) which leaves JOY.SYS out. Jim Skilskyj
