Shawn,

I only have one joystick myself, I just wanted to be able to support
dual joysticks in a little game I was writing. If I get something
working I'll get back to you and we'll see about intigrating it into
Allegro. I can always test it by posting the source to the newsgroup.

BTW thanks for producing such a smart games library!

William McGugan.
