  10.           Ever get tired of constantly writing the same code over and over
  11.           to utilize an Amiga device?  I did!  That's why I put together
  12.           this 'Toolkit' of routines to access these devices.  This is the
  13.           first in a series of 'Toolkits' I've been building lately.
  14.  
  15.           This ToolKit provides access to the GamePort device, and its
  16.           associated hardware, with the minimum of fuss.  There are full
  17.           link-time libraries for SAS/C 5.10a and Manx C 5.0.  There is
  18.           also a shared library, called GamePort.library, which can be
  19.           installed in the LIBS: directory, along with a pragmas file, a
  20.           .fd file, and link-time glue routine libraries.
  21.  
  22.           I have included a bevy of programs that I use to test the
  23.           ToolKit, which provide numerous examples of how to use this
  24.           software.
  25.  
  26.           The directory hierarchy of this distribution is laid out as
