Subject: Jetboat problem solved

A few days ago I asked why the boat in the game Jetboat could not be
controlled. As I suspected, it's a joystick problem. It appears the game
reads and uses the joystick port signal (A/D converter on the Beeb), even if
the game is controlled by keys.

If joystick support is turned off in BeebEm and PCBBC, it appears there's a
signal that makes the boat turn.

In BeebEm you can easily solve this by turning on joystick support or
"mousestick" support (even if no joystick is connected).

Anyone got an idea how to achieve this in PCBBC, which doesn't support the
A/D converter?

Thanxalot by the way everybody who went hunting for copies of Hampstead.
With some help by Robert, I managed to download it from TBL!
