These values then need to be sent over the network to an SGI IRIS that will perform the dynamics and display the graphics. So I can use the socket facility, I would like the PC to run BSD. However, I don't know how to read joystick ports from a BSD process. Is this possible? And if so how? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. - James jboyle@godzilla.cgl.citri.edu.au
