Is xPL the ideal work-around? Need to access the LPT port from MisterHouse... Jack Edin 10-21-05

Greetings.

I need to send a byte out the LPT port. Sounds simple enough...

Then I searched and discovered Mister House is limited by Perl, which
can't access the LPT port.

Dohh!

Bruce told me at one time that I should seek to use the xPL or xAP
interfaces. Mister House can easily interface with them both.

So I hope xPL isn't limited, and that it CAN access the LPT port.

My application is super-simple. Somebody who knows what they're doing
should be able to write something is a few minutes.

Anybody have any insite?

Thankx, in advance.

Jack
:)
