    Question Controlling the parallel port in C++

    Hi,
    I was wondering how would you go about directly controlling the parallel port in windows.
    I have no idea of where to start

    I need to be able to write a byte to the port to control a robot

    use fstream, open the port instead of a text file, and then use the stream writing commands.
