i just want to try make my own programs and i need some help ...
(Borland C++ builder 6)
plz help me !!!

I'm using the TDLPortIO wrapper component to access parallel port in C++ Builder 5. The component can be downloaded somewhere at my site.
Some time ago I tried my LCDInfo project with the Builder 6 Trial version and there were some problems with TDLPortIO but I didn't look at that much.

With visual c++ 6 I've been using the DLPORTIO.lib / .h that are distributed in the DLPortIO package but I haven't used them with any C++ Builder version yet.

I have the same problem the topicstarter has... I've been using borland c++ builder 6 and i tried installing the wrapper component but it seems that it was written for c++ builder 4.0... When builder 6 tries to convert the file and install the package it gives me a --" is not a valid identifier error--

I'm a bit at a loss here...

Don't know if it matters what Builder version you have, but I've been using DLPortIO and C++ Builder 3 for years and can tell you it's very easy to do. But... Builder can do very weird things...

It's not much, but this is a little guide made years ago: Using DLPortIO in C++ Builder

There is no need to generate a new .lib if I remember correctly. But offcourse you can always try with implib (in builder/bin/implib.exe)

If that won't help, there are more things to try

it seems that link is broken...

Hmmmz, don't know why it's not working atm... fixed the link with an IP adres, so it should work for now.

I'm in the middle of a domain transfer, and files are scattered across 3 servers, nameservers are partly updated across the world, and so on. So you might say some weird sh*t is going on with my links now and then... It's being worked on though
