Is it possible to program the parallel port with VC++ under windows XP ?

WinIo - This library allows direct I/O port access...can be used from non-administrative accounts under Windows NT/2000 and XP.

You can call the routines in the file winio.dll from C++. You need the following files:
winio.h - (see below) include in your source program
winio.lib - link to this
winio.dll - copy to same directory as your executable
winio.sys - copy to same directory as your executable

Here is the "winio.h" file I use with Visual C++ 6.0:
#ifndef  __WINIO_C_H__
#define  __WINIO_C_H__

_declspec(dllimport) bool _stdcall InitializeWinIo();
_declspec(dllimport) void _stdcall ShutdownWinIo();

extern "C"
{
  _declspec(dllimport) unsigned char * _stdcall MapPhysToLin(unsigned char * pbPhysAddr, 
      DWORD dwPhysSize, HANDLE *pPhysicalMemoryHandle);
  _declspec(dllimport) bool _stdcall GetPhysLong(PBYTE pbPhysAddr, PDWORD pdwPhysVal);
  _declspec(dllimport) bool _stdcall SetPhysLong(PBYTE pbPhysAddr, DWORD dwPhysVal);
  _declspec(dllimport) bool _stdcall GetPortVal(WORD wPortAddr, PDWORD pdwPortVal, BYTE bSize);
  _declspec(dllimport) bool _stdcall SetPortVal(WORD wPortAddr, DWORD dwPortVal, BYTE bSize);
}

#endif //__WINIO_C_H__

Can you send me those files to my e-mail:
bennyzamir@walla.co.il

and explain me where to copy them.
