Help with making parallel put work

-----------------------------------

What is it you are trying to achieve?

I have an isp due in 2 days and I have to make 2 seven segment displays. I have to enter a temperature in fahrenheit and it has to be converted into celcius. I have to program number -20 to 20 in celcius for them to be displayed on the 7 segment display
What is the problem you are having?

After thoroughly looking into making a seven segment display I still have no idea what to do. I started to try somthing out and it is not working. It sais unable to find I/O device. I need to know what this means and what I have to include to make it work
Describe what you have tried to solve this problem

researched everything I could find


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)








for i : 0 .. 7
            parallelput (2 ** i)    %Set data bit i on the  parallel port
            put "Data bit ", i, "  or Pin ", i + 2, "has just been set"
        end for
        parallelput (97) 




Please specify what version of Turing you are using

Do you have a parallel port on your machine? I don't know if you need drivers for a parallel port, but if so, are they installed?
