    I'm using a ** GAMEPORT ** (joystick box thingy that connects into
    my printer port on my notebook) to use joysticks on my notebook
    computer. It came out after Wing Commander II was released, so it
    didn't supply me with software to make my WCII compatible with it.

    SO, does anyone know where i can find the GAMEPORT file (if ever there
    is one) to allow me to use my joystick,

				OR

    If there is a program made that allows the computer to believe that 
    whereever it gets asked to look for the joystick at the normal joystick
    place, it looks for it at lpt1 ????

    I hope all this isn't to confusing. =)
