Morning Folks:
	I recently saw the C64 mouse for the first time and was mildly
impressed.  Before considering buying one, however, I need some information
as to how to program them.  I tried the mouse out on nearly every joystick
driven program I had (except the obvious shoot 'em up games) and the mouse
worked reasonably well.  It also worked exactly how the joystick would have
worked in the same situation.  Thus, I have several questions I'd like the
CBM community to answer.

	Are the signals comming to the 64 from the mouse the same as the
64 would get from the joystick??  I am assuming the pin outs are the same. 
Am I correct in this assumption?  Finally (and the biggest question I have
on this mouse), is there ANY difference in the two buttons on the mouse???
On every program I tried it didn't matter which button I pushed, they both
acted the same.

	To anyone who responds..."Thanks in advance!!"
