Zoomkat's simple parallel port stuff.
If using the below files on windows NT/2K/XP, then you will need to run
userport (google search for userport.zip) to get access to the parallel
port. If running on windows 98, then rem out the date and time lines
using :: (the win98 command.com doesn't do dates and times).
The in.com and out.com applications, and the in.bat file format below
were developed by Herbert Kleebauer. The outcom.bat generates the
out.com application, and the incom.bat file generates the in.com
application. Copy, paste in notepad, save as a .bat file, then double
click to run and generate the .com files. The in.com, out.com, in.bat,
and lpt-status.bat files below go into the apache cgi-bin folder. The
files are linked to in the format http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/lpt-in.bat,
which should produce a status page in the brouser.

Debug batch files for writing/reading parallel port lines. The below
debug-lpt.bat, lptin.bat, and lptout.bat batch files go in the apache
cgi-bin folder and are linked to like
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/debug-lpt.bat. The debug output can also be
sent to a file if desired for evaluation by another program
(like debug < debug.in > save.txt). I think batch files can evaluate
the output hex value, but I haven't gotten that far yet.
