Either they have written a driver for LPT OR they do it but VERY poorly 
when multitasking. There is no way around this. WriteLog CORRECTLY in my 
opinion chose not to even try. It would be nice if WriteLog would create a 
driver but there is the 29 dollar driver available but I do not want to 
spend 30 for a minor improvement to a 75 dollar program.
