You could write a keyboard ISR that remaps the a,w,s, and z keys the arrow keys. You'd have to hook int 16h and check for those keystrokes in the keyboard buffer. Alternately you could write a TSR that handles the game port and stuffs the keyboard with a,w,s and z. Then you could use a joystick. - Brennecke N. Farrer -- Brennecke N.
