hi, i'm trying to create a program that controls an electronic board. I need to refresh data every 1/4 of a second, i wanted to use an interupt routine, is this possible? ( without an external command). Also, if c++ works like an assembler program, i wont have access to the data, will i need to save it (in a .txt for example) so that i can modify it and use it whenever needed?

Is this some virtual simulation running on your machine, or some real piece of hardware connected to your machine via serial / parallel / USB / LAN / whatever.

> i wanted to use an interupt routine, is this possible?
Probably not, if one makes assumptions about what operating system and compiler you're likely to be using. Try being more specific about what you have.

i'm going to be using some hardware connected to the pc via the parallel port. its will all be based on a win 98 operating system.
