[WriteLog] Operating system--followup

[Thomas Jednacz]

Thanks for the input Jim. I went back to see what I did. In the Parallel
Port Properties box in Device Manager I set the parallel port for "no
interrupts". I was under the impression that this stopped XP from sharing
the port and when I ran only one program it would access the port and not be
hit with interrupts. Is this correct or am I up the tree again?

That's not correct, parallel port support is exactly the same (and same as
in
Win2K).  Here is a web page showing *some* of the differences:

There used to be a much bigger chart, but I can't find it right now.
