Hi,
I'm using BCB5 Pro, Win XP.
My question may be simple compared to what people are doing,
What I am having difficulties with is finding how to:
  read / write values ie bits on the pins to the parallel ports
or be able to read the serial port.
I believe it has something to do with CreateFile ?

Thanks In Advance
Andrew


Can someone show me the way, or if know of a good example on the net.
