Thanks to all who responded.
Especially Dragan who sent the UserPort zip file.
I installed Userport and LPT 1 now works fine.
I recently installed a second LPT port with an address of FC98.
Unfortunately, Userport does not allow 4 digit format in it's port entry
field.
Don't you all just love the advantages of XP?
Thanks much,
Al, VE6RFM
