Note concerning the                      |
usage of a joystick:                     |
  Even if you own an analog joystick     |
the program will execute in the          |
default keyboard mode (fastest).         |
To be able to use a joystick, select op- |
tion 'J'. When the program starts up     |
it will assume that the joystick is      |
centered and will take a measure-        |
ment of that.                            |
