- Get IOPORT.ZIP and/or RAWIO.ZIP from allfiwib1.wiwi.uni-marburg.de
- in /ftp/anonymou/nt or from CI$ MSWIN32 forum in the DDK Lib to see
- how to gain direct access to I/O ports under WIN32,WIN16 and DOS subsystems.

- BC++ compiled binaries run under the WIN16 subsystem. If you want to
- port it to WIN32 and you have used pretty generic code, this should be

- Windows NT comes out.
