Hi all, While working on a project which involves using the parrallel port (LPT1) I noticed something strange that happens if your in Windows and doesn't happen in pure DOS. D2 (Pin 4) is set high while the rest of the data pins are set low. If you try to set them all off, Windows will complain that a MSDOS program and Windows is attempting to access the LPT1 port even if Windows shouldn't be. Is there a good work around for this problem. Other than that Euphoria works great to program the parallel port with ports.e's help in DOS and Windows95. TIA, Greg Harris HHS
