Hello Fellow usenet'ers,

I hope this will not repeat a previous post. I searched on this
newsgroup and found nothing relevant. I need to be able to read a
value from the PC parallel port in Turbo Pascal 3.0 (old, eh?...).
Can someone with experience in this area give a few hints so that I
don't waste too much time on something that might be trivial? I guess
I should read some I/O lacation (IN command), but there might be a few
commands that should be written to the parallel port before that to
configure it as input etc. I need as many bits as possible (I guess 8
is reasonable). Thank's in advance for any help offered. Cheers!
