Sounds cool. I'll have to pick up that issue and follow the "thread" there.
Thanks for the info.

By the way, I helped write a program in Delphi for PC/Windows communications
with a Java OS industrial computer for Yokogawa last year when I was working for
Intranet Systems in Hamamatsucho. IS went bankrupt and I find myself translating
Fax and Copier manuals at Canon. After a year, its getting boring... I need
programming again.... :-P

There are one article(japanese) on "Nikkei Linux" magazine most recent one.
(I think no. 10, not sure). In this, the author descibes how to  read
and write digital bit in paralel port. They show some small C program to
do that.
In the next numbers the author try to show how to agregate some home
made hardware to control home electric items.
