How to read game port in Clarion?

I need to input some variable resistance data into a program and the
thought occured to me that perhaps the Game port joystick interface might
work.

Does anyone know if there are any templates or example code that
reads/shows how to read the game port?

thanks,

Bob Roos

Thaks for the info. I went to their website (www.sstnet.com), but
couldn't find the DriverLinx. I sent them a request for more info on it.

Just got an idea to Google it. Found www.driverlinx.com and it has what
you mentioned.

Thanks

I am seriously thinking of using a micro processor that talks RS-232 to do
my monitoring. Check out www.basicx.com and www.parallax.com for the
basic program driven microprocessors.

I have another application where the micro processor can control most of
the project with only a little help from a PC.

I can talk to the serial port with ClaCom Lite.
