My first thought was to suggest using Oracle Virtual box to create a windows 98 or even a DOS virtual machine and run your application within the virtual machine. If your app will run in WinXP then you can create a virtual XP box and then use "net use" to capture your LPT1 port and map via the network to a usb device. You may have to use PrintFil to capture the port on the Windows98 virtual box to redirect the printer output.
I've had great luck keeping a couple of old btrieve database programs (MagicPC for those who might be interested) running on current machines doing similar installations. Not pretty, but pretty cheap. And it works. Paul H. Tarver Tarver Program Consultants, Inc.
