- It is highly depends on hardware and operating system - that is why there is
- nothing about that in C++ language. Try ask in Windows newsgroup. Or try use
- help for "OpenComm" (for WIN16) or "WaitCommEvent"(for WIN32). And I doubt if
- you could read data from parallel (printer) port without low level
- programming.
