pc.h header file help

[Guest]

Hi!
I'm doing my final year project in University and I'm currently trying to program my parallel port, but I cannot seem to compile because there isn't a pc.h header file. Is there any way I can download this header file?
I'm using Windows XP as my OS, would the security rings interfere with me trying to program the parallel port?
Hope there's someone here who can help me.
Thanks!!!!

Hi,

I think there is no need for the pc.h, would you please elaborate more why
you need a special header file.

You can find useful information on the following msdn links

Hope this can help

You can't manipulate the parallel port directly under Windows XP - you need
to use a kernel-mode device driver to do that.

You might want to check out www.lvr.com for information about accessing
ports, and device drivers that you can use.
