Hi all,

because I wanted to try the new 'announce' list I ported the lp object from Zexy to Windows to have something to announce.... ;-)

Ok, just joking. I was working on a Pd port of Christian Klippels cvbox object that is used to read data from his 'cvbox' analogue input controller he mentioned in one of his posts. In case someone is interested, just let me know... (I couldn't test it yet due to the lack of the box)

As a by-product I realised how to access the parrallel port (and any other ports) directly under WinNT/2000/XP. I've added that to the 'lp' object from zexy which can be used to send bytes out of the parrallel port. Under Win9x/Me it should work as-is, under WinNT/2000/XP a special kernel driver is needed that is included in the archive. See the readme for details.
