Greetings:

I have a question I was hoping someone might be able to help me with.
Where can I find information on programming the joystick from C or
C++?  I have been looking around for a while and cannot seem to locate
any information on joystick programming.  I would like to use a
joystick as an alternative input device with a functionality similar
to a mouse.  I have seen the program joymouse, but I am more
interested in how it is done as opposed to just using someone else's
code.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
