reading the parrallel port ?
I want to write a program that will monitor the parrallel port for signals, and when a signal is recieved, it will be logged.
What methods are there for me to do this ?
(is there any code out there that i can examine ?)
This will be part of a security system at home, so i expect that i will need to put only 5V into the parrallel port ?
(At least), operating system dependent.

is that right
hmmmpf
Yes. Under Windows you can get a handle to the parallel port using the CreateFile() API function - try that on a Linux box, or a UNIX box or a MAC and it won't work.
