With those particular lines, I'm getting this error :

darkstar# ./xc3sprog -d /dev/ppi0 -j -v
Release $Rev: 426 $
Free software: If you contribute nothing, expect nothing!
Please provide feedback on success/failure/enhancement requests!
Check Sourceforge SVN for updates!
Missing power for Parallel Cable III
Could not open parallel port /dev/ppi0

without, it looks like this :

darkstar# ./xc3sprog -d /dev/ppi0 -j -v
Release $Rev: 426 $

There is one interesting issue: using only once the software free from
the "Missing power for Parallel Cable III" code block causes  the
original one (without any modifications) to work correctly.
