I have an update on this. I found a demo program here: http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/inpout32/ I was able to successfully run the demo program and access my parallel port. I could write to it and read back what I just wrote accurately. I wrote '123' decimal to it, then tried to read it back with my freepacal program, it read 255.. then I tried to read it back with the demo program, it was still 123. So this proves that my parallel port is working and that it works with this DLL. The question is, why can't I access it with my freepascal program?
I am wondering if it has something to do with my variable declarations. I used shortint for the port address but I wonder If it should be something else.. the c++ example used smallint, but maybe that's not the same thing? I randomly tried some other types but still no luck. There has to be some simple reason why I can't get this to work... any ideas? _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
