Several years ago, there existed a program called PMM (shareware), otherwise known as "Poor Man's Mouse".

I've been waiting for a solution to a question that I have seen raised time and time again regarding the emulation of a mouse with a joystick. It may be a crude way of doing things, but sometimes it is just "what the Doctor ordered." I've seen programmes to use a mouse to emulate the keypad. Has anyone seen a program(me) to emulate a mouse with a joystick? I don't expect there to be a public domain program(me), but I've seen neither a shareware nor commercial package to do the job. Thanks. HA . . . HA . . . HA . . . HA . . . HA . . . HA . . . HA . . .

I don't know how to make it available via Usenet, but it is available on a number of NZ BBS's as JOYOUS.ZIP. Frank.
