jscal jstest joystick utilities

My search for jscal and jstest on the package search yielded no results as did my search on google, all that turns up are manpages for jscal and jstest i cant find a package to install them. am i overlooking a package that is in the archlinux repositories that contains these programs?

http://www.linuxgames.com/joystick/

it's part of linux joystick driver
here
ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/linu … .15.tar.gz

info taken from here

what joypad are you using?
check /dev/js* and /dev/input/js* to see if any device nodes have been created
you can test the joystick/pad with 'jstest' which is available as part of the linux joystick driver (you can check that page for more information if the following doesn't work for you)
download ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/linu … .15.tar.gz (88k)
untar, change to the source directory and build jstest:
tar -xzvf /path/to/joystick-1.2.15.tar.gz
cd joystick-1.2.15
make jstest
//or compile it by hand with:
gcc -o jstest jstest.c
run jstest:
./jstest /dev/js0 or./jstest /dev/input/js0
