hi! my name is paul,
i want to use parallel port under win98
and im compliling the project under win2k
with borland c++ builder 6 that doesn't
allow to compile outport and also inline
assembly out/in that i can find/use
with borland c++ compiler(v3.1)
so i was thinking to write a DLL with this
last tool and use it whit my c++
borland builder 6 application....

but i don't know how to make a DLL with
that old compiler...

i know only how to set the linker to build
a dll and not an exe....

for example what's the "main" with DLL?

thank u! :p
 
There exists a .DLL that allows you hardware access: "inpout32.dll", it comes with description on how to do and how to call it from the "normal" program.

It's really only a question of including a couples of pointers to functions doing the job, that's one doing a port-write and another returning a port read.

In the project you include the "inpout32.dll" and your'e upp flying as usual.

thank you very much!
i found that library and used it...
on win2k it doesn't work but i think that on 98
it will work well...
^_^ i'm happy! :)

Well, if you say so ;-)
