You don't want to read the joystick directly from an application.  You need
to use a device driver under OS/2.  See, for example:

GAME02A.ZIP   146K  2-10-95  Advanced OS/2 Joystick Device Driver - Version
                             0.2a
GAME02B.ZIP   147K  5-01-96  Advanced OS/2 joystick device driver v0.2b

Here is the official IBM version:

JOYSTICK.ZIP   12K  7-05-95  OS/2 Joystick Device Driver.  OS/2 Warp
                             compatible.  MMPM/2 required.

You may also be able to use:

                             little 3D Car-Driving game utilizing DIVE,
                             Real-Time sound mixing, Joystick-support and
                             Palette-Management. Written in Virtual PASCAL with
