Hello,

Wich software to be used is dependend on the operating system.
On the newer operating systems the I/O handling is done by the kernel.
You will need some driver programs to acces the parallel port.

Hi,

I use Visual Basic. You can access the parallel port from there. You will (as Bertus says
need another file to place into the program or Windows directory. The one that I use is inpout32 (for win 95 / 98, ME. There is an impout for XP as well. This file came with a book. This was Parallel port complete by Jan Axelson. It is well worth the cost.

I hope this helps.

Daniel.
