You can't use inport / outport any more.  Win32 is more "protected"
than that, so it isn't allowed.

However, you do have a few different options, as have been posted here
before:

Or EnTech's Port I/O component:
http://www.entechtaiwan.com/tools.htm

Or:

Visit http://www.internals.com

That's WinIo v1.3 - Direct Hardware Access Under Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000

Or:

http://www.cybermagic.co.nz/winsoft/index.htm : CyberMagic's IOPort
component

Or:

http://www.beyondlogic.com : PortTalk, Port Device Driver

Or more on Torry's:

Or, for Win9x only, if you have TASM, you can use the following:

#define outportb(port,val) outb(val,port)

void __fastcall outb(Byte val, WORD port)
{
	asm 	out dx,al
}

#define inportb(port) inb(0,port)

Byte __fastcall inb(Byte dummy, WORD port)
{
	asm 	in al,dx
}

There's also a great site on programming the parallel port:
