(*                             A Joystick Unit !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This unit will also Detect Your Joystick. if it's detected then you'll have
to init the Joystick by turning the joystick in all directions and when done
press a button , And whala your joystick works I Hope!

See My sample program under the Unit code.

You may modify this code as muts as you want but , please give me a
credit,thanks !
Have a question or suggestions please tel me : E-mail riedijk@pi.net
