I'm new to Delphi (I have version 4, Standard edition).   I'd like to
address the serial port of my PC (but if not, the parallel port will
do)......does anyone know if I can do this in Delphi ?   And if so, could
you point me in the right direction ?

many thanks      GarryP (uk)

Mr. Garry
I have a component  for driving the port serial that can serve you. in the
next days i will send you.

I approach  this opportunity, for search too a component for driving the
port parallel or lpt1 of my computer.
I want to access each one of  port's pins.

Sebastian,

Can you send me the component for parallel port. i would like to control
each pin for my stepper motor.

Thank you,
Reid

You can use WinAPI for that -
Use CreateFile with "COM1" instead of file name.

But the simple way is to use one of 3-rd party Delphi component for that.

One of the most powerfull is AsyncPro.
Async32 component is not so powerfull, but free. :-)
You can find them on alot of Delphi sites and I can send you Async32 if you
want.
