Hi,

It seems impossible to read address 0x408L to determine the whereabouts of the
parallel port under MS Visual C++ v4.0; upon attempting to access this address,
I get the lovely warning about an "unhandled exception at address 0xC00000005,
Access Violation" etc Anyone know how to get around this? I noticed that on one
of the parallel port "tutorial" sites that they had ways to control the parallel
port in every language [including Welsh(!)] except for MS VC++.....Coincidence?
I assume it is the 32-bit build restricting access to this
segment.........Borland C works nice but I'm awkward and would like to know why
MC VC wont do it.

Regards,

Dan
