Parallel port (MC guys, are you there???)

Hello everyone,

Any tips/hints on using the parallel port (LPTx: port) from within MC? On
*nix I get the impression (but I'm a total newbie, so...) one could do this
by something like:

  open file "/dev/lpt1" for write
  write data to file "lpt1"
  close file "/dev/lpt1"

Is this correct? And what about other platforms? Something with

  open driver "LPT1:" for write

??? Please your experiences (not ideas only, because I don't have the
possibility to try things out) or insights from the MC team, because I want
to eliminate this factor when debugging.

Thanks in advance.

Regards, / Groeten,
Sjoerd
