                        OUTPORT.DLL ver. 1.2

    This program is shareware and may be freely distributed as long as
both files are together and unaltered.  The zip file outport.zip should
contain the following: 

        outport.dll

    Visual Basic is awsome!  However, after looking through the manuals I
couldn't find the usual BASIC port functions such as OUT and INP.  So 
after many late nights I figured out how to write DLL's.  This dll contains 
the subroutine OUT which works just like the familiar BASIC statement.

   To use OUT in your VB programs follow these steps:

        1.  Place outport.dll in your \windows\system directory.
        2.  Place the following statement in the declarations section
            of your form code.
            
        Declare Sub Out Lib "Outport.dll" (ByVal PortNum%, ByVal DataOut%)

        3.  Use the statement in your code just like BASICs OUT.
        
   for example:

        To send the binary pattern 10101010 (in Hex that's &hAA) 
          to LPT1 (&h378):

        out &h378, &hAA

   The unregistered version of this DLL has a delay loop which slows output
        down to about once a second.

   If you like this DLL and would like to be able to use the function INP in
        your VB programs please send $10 to the address below for a new DLL
        which contains both statements INP and OUT (fast).  Send $20 and
        receive the above DLL and source code.  
        
        The DLL can be sent to you the following ways:

        1.  If you have a phone modem include your phone number so that 
            I can transfer the file by phone.  
        2.  If you are a member of America Online send your screen name.
        3.  If you have an E-Mail account I can UUENCODE the DLL and E-Mail it.
        4.  Snail Mail.
