...and got these responses: http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/pyparallel.html Sounded very appealing to me (partly because it'd serve as another excuse to learn more Python) but the blurb on that WWW page makes reference to some "archive" that apparently doesn't exist. http://centerclick.org/temp/lcd.tgz Some home-grown tools written by Dave Johnson. The entire collection compiled easily and the lcdraw tool worked well enough for my purposes - I didn't try any of the others. http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/portcontrol/portcontrol.c I did not try this as the source codes indicate that it invokes ioperm() and then engages in direct manipulation of some hardcoded I/O ports from user space, something I was avoiding as not flexible enough for my purposes. http://parashell.sourceforge.net/ I did not get around to trying this. My thanks to all. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
