Analyse and PDP are small tools to test some lines of the printer port.
They may be helpful if CheckPrt (or any other program) doesn't work
correctly.
PDP simply displays the state of the lines BUSY, PE and SLCT, which
CheckPrt checks to set the returncode.
Sometimes, the state of a line changes in such a short time that
PDP cannot display it.
For this reason I include the program Analyse which displays the state
of the lines like a logic-analysator.
So you can also test the 8 data-lines of the printer port.
The data-lines change their state in a very short time, so only a part
of the information will be displayed, but I think its better then
nothing.
ATTENTION : With Analyse running, some garbage may appear on your
printer, so use it for testing only !
Using PDP and/or Analyse it should be easy to make an error report,
if CheckPrt doesn't work correctly.
If something's going wrong, if you have any criticism, error-reports,
gifts or something else write to
