Programming the Parallel Port

["Thomas Ribbrock (Design/DEG)" <argathin gmx net>]

Hi folks,

might be slightly off-topic, but does anybody know where I can find
documentation on how to program (i.e. write to and read from) the
parallel port? Background: I have one machine where I'd like to use the
parallel port as 8bit I/O connection, which should technically be
possible with modern ports. I just need to get to know how to access
it... :-)

Thanks in advance,

Thomas
