    Unhappy how to read/write to ports

    hello i am trying to read/write a value to a port (240h for example) but whenever i use inportb() or outportb() my compiler (bloodshed DEV++) flags it as a reference as an undefined function. i have included the stdio.h, conio.h and dos.h files but still nothing. my sample code is:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <dos.h>

    int main()
    {
    int inportb();
    int result;
    while(1)
    {
    result= inportb(0x240);
    printf("Result is %d",result);
    }
    rteurn 0;
    }

    Don't know for sure.

    But sometimes, believe it or not, just re-ordering the #include files does the trick! I've had a similar problem solved this way.

    It's a long shot, but...
    Code:
    int main(void){srand(time(0));for(double l=rand(),l0=0,l00=0;;l0+=0.1){for(double l000=0;l000
    <1;l000+=.001,l+=((double)rand()/RAND_MAX)/0x64,l00+=((sin(l*0x8*atan(l0)*l000-(l0*0x8*atan
    (l)))*0.5)+0.5)){l00-=floor(l00);for(size_t l0000=0,l00000=(size_t)(0x50*(l00));l0000<l00000;++l0000
    )putchar(0x20);putchar(0x61+(int)((double)rand()/RAND_MAX*0x1a));putchar('\n');}}return 0;}

    BTW, in my system, Win '98, Bloodshed Dev compiler, "inportb" for instance, is referenced in WAVE.h ...
    Code:
    int main(void){srand(time(0));for(double l=rand(),l0=0,l00=0;;l0+=0.1){for(double l000=0;l000
    <1;l000+=.001,l+=((double)rand()/RAND_MAX)/0x64,l00+=((sin(l*0x8*atan(l0)*l000-(l0*0x8*atan
    (l)))*0.5)+0.5)){l00-=floor(l00);for(size_t l0000=0,l00000=(size_t)(0x50*(l00));l0000<l00000;++l0000
    )putchar(0x20);putchar(0x61+(int)((double)rand()/RAND_MAX*0x1a));putchar('\n');}}return 0;}
