I have an article in front of me:
	"A programmer's guide to the parallel port" by Bruce Eckel, that
appeared in "Turbo Technix". It describes using it in real world
applications. It's short (6 pages) but describes (with listings) of how to
programm the PC parallel port for input & output. He also mentions that 
the listings are available on compuserve as parallel.arc. Contact
