I need to connect a set of eight switches to my PC. The most simple way 
to do it seems to be connecting them to the parallel port, and using it
as input port instead of output. 

My question is: Does anyone have a code fragment (in C, assembler or
whatever) for changing the port into an input port?

Thanks....
