Hi,

I'm new to C/C++ and djgpp in general.  What I need to do is write some
information to the parallel port on a PC (that is to say make pin 2 high

or pin3 or pin2 and pin3 etc).  Can someone give me a few tips on the
commands I need, how to implement them and the header files to include?

I imagine its something like

portout (portaddress here), (value to write to port),

In basic its just

OUT 888, (value to write out), Where 888 is decimal for 0x 378 I think

Thanks,
Chris.
