Parallelput with no parallel port

I'm trying to run my program that I did for school at home, but since I have no parallelport on my computer, it says DLPORTio.sys missing or something. How do I make it so the program runs?

Thanks Smile

It can't. The driver for the parallelport is missing, and Turing relies on that for parallelput (I assume). Try googling DLPORTio.sys for a download. I assume you'll still need a parallelport.

Comment the lines out, or replace them with "put." Alternatively, you could wrap the parallelput call in a procedure and toggle between using it or put.

Turing:

const USE_PORT := false

proc parallelputx(stuff:int)
     if (USE_PORT) then
          parallelput(stuff)
     else
          put intstr(stuff)
     end if
end parallelputx

%usage
parallelputx(2**3 + 2**4)
