        Well, with Qbasic 4.5, you *can* compile into exe format, and the
only way that I know of accessing ports directly with EU is to use either
the adress of the device or the interupt.
        If you have uudecoding technology I will give you qbasic 4.5, or
if you don't i will give you doth a decoder and the zip file.
