    Get a newer book or an older compiler.

    Which port are you planning to mess with?

    Taking a guess, if it's the serial port, then use the win32 CreateFile() API and associated functions.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    i believe that VC++ and BC++ have 2 different functions like in BC++ it is outportb and in vc++ it is something different..i dont know it off the top of my head but they may help, also i think it uses a different header file than conio

    dont most dos compilers put the io port commands in <pc.h>? but it's been a while... you probably don't have much of a reason to mess with them in a modern enviornment anyway
