can u help me?

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!

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.

Keep making it perfect and it will end up broken.

it will work well...

Well, if you say so ;-)

I've used it with XP and it's game there too.
