Both parallel and serial communications are performed using the Win32 file API - the most comprehensive explanation on this issue can be found at '<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/techart/msdn_serial.htm'" rel="ugc nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/techart/msdn_serial.htm'</a> - the name of the article is 'Serial Communications in Win32'. It describes in detail how to access the COM ports using C/C++ (the same for LPT). <br />
<br />
If you prefer a class for doing this, take a look at '<a href="http://www.codeguru.com/misc/serialport.shtml'" rel="ugc">http://www.codeguru.com/misc/serialport.shtml'</a>, which provides a complete communication class for all this. <br />

I'm looking for parallel port communication!!! Serial port is no problem. To be more specific, I'm looking for parallel file transfer from one PC to another (Windows 95 and later also Windows NT).<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot<br />

Hmm, did you take a look at the MSDN link? As I said, parallel and serial I/O are minla the same thing...<br />

I have to develop parallel port file transfer. I'm using VC++ and I couldn't find any sample code or documentation.<br />
<br />
Is there anything available? For example, source code for something like laplink?<br />
<br />
All I need is a reliable parallel port file transfer.<br />

Parallel Port File Transfer

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
