    How can I read and write from/to the parallel port in Win95 with a c++ program compiled with devc++. I tried to use the conio.h, but there are no commands like inport, outport or something like this. anyone with an idea??

      Well, I can make some general observations:

      (1) Dev-C++ is not a compiler.  It is a graphical front end for the gcc compiler.  This is not semantics, it is important in understanding how things work and in getting answers through effective searches.
      (2) conio.h is a Borland header.  It is not a C++ standard header, there is limited support for it with gcc.

      Speaking of searches (you should have done one before you asked your question), if you go to the upper left corner of the web site, you will see a box with the word search near it.  Search on parallel port (make sure when the search window pops up you click the require all words box), and there are some interesting threads which may have some bearing on your question.
