Hi,  I wan to know how I can open and aquire status of the LPT1 port
and modify the bit value ( 0-1) of each pin in the port.   I know the
MSComm control for the serial port, but I found nothing for the LPT
port.

I want to know how I can open a LPT1 port, auire the status of the
port, modify the value of the bit ( 0-1 binary )  on each pin of the
port.  I know MSComm work for the serial port but it dosent work ( I
think ) for the LPT port.

Thanks
