I have added the joystick package from the above mentioned website to
win32.mmsystem.ads
After compilation the next error message occurs:
operator for type "Interfaces.C.unsigned_long" is not directly
visable, use clause would make operation legal.

The error message points to this code:
JOY_RETURNALL      : constant Win32.DWORD               -- mmsystem.h:
2067
      := ( JOY_RETURNX or JOY_RETURNY or JOY_RETURNZ   or JOY_RETURNR
            or JOY_RETURNU or JOY_RETURNV or JOY_RETURNPOV or
JOY_RETURNBUTTONS ) ;

I do not understand for which package a use clause must be added.
