(LPT.DOC)
12/03/89
I have been looking around for a prog that would allow me to pick the
target LPT port I wanted to use. While I found numerous things that
would swap the ports there was the not so small problem of "knowing"
what port had been selected so a decision about the swap could be made.
I found several that came maddeningly close but werent exactly what I
wanted.....
1. small
2. let ME absolutely pick the port I want active
NOTE: I DIDN'T have the need to have access to both ports, I have two
ports, 2 printers and I simply wanted to choose between them when I
wanted to use them.
I made several attempts to modify existing progs I found and none of
that was successful.
I have this friend that is an assembler guru (which I AM NOT). I
"mentioned" my interest and my failed attempts and the next day the
other 2 items enclosed in this zip were on my desk - and - it works
MY way.
I mention all of this because my friend is a VERY accomplished
programmer in Assembler, Pascal, and FOX* and is really interested
in using his skills to earn a living as an independent programmer.
If you have a need for the services of a very skilled individual,
and are willing to pay him for his services, I would be happy to
put you directly in touch with him.

Oh yes -- the syntax of LPT
LPT 1 selects LPT1 as the target port
LPT 2 selects LPT2 as the target port
and - just in case it needs to be said - you DO need two LPT ports
to make use of this little gem.
