I'm trying to write a program that will use the parallel port pins to turn
appliances on and off.  I have found the following code, but can't get it
to compile under djgpp.  It's supposed to turn pin 2 on at 10:05 for one
minute.  If anyone can help, how do I tell it which pins to turn on?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <pc.h>

int main(void)   
{                 
struct time t;
unsigned port = 0x378;
while()
    {
    gettime(&t);
    if(t.ti_hour==10 && t.ti_min==05) outportb (port,1);
    else outportb (port,0);
    }
}

Thanks,
Jono
