  MacJoy is mainly a joystick support for the Macintosh emulators Shape
Shifter and Emplant (probably also A-Max IV but I couldn't test it).  Since
there are a lot of Mac games that work well with these emulators, you may
want to play them using your usual Amiga joystick.

  All Mac games give at least keyboard support; MacJoy remaps gameport
events to keyboard events so that moving joystick is the same as pressing
keys.  Try it and you'll see that playing a Mac game is exactly as playing
an Amiga game with real joystick support.

  In this archive you find two small utilities, MacJoy and MacJoyPad.
MacJoy handles only joystick and uses gameport.device.  MacJoyPad handles
both joystick and the CD32 joypad but requires lowlevel.library, not
included.

  These utilities probably can be useful also for some Amiga applications
or other emulators, they work for every application that uses the Amiga OS.
I did everything possible to make them compatible and OS friendly; I have
not used any hack or illegal patch.

  - Now checks whether already active.
  - Some optimizations.
