Hello all,

Ok, here's the deal my old Rapid-Q compiler could use the old QuickBasic commands of INP and OUTP to control the LPT or Parallel port with. I need to know the following:

1> Can RB do that or is there some class or plug in that I need to use with it?.

2> Or, is there a Serial Port version out there I could use without much fuss or muss?

3> Or, is there someone that has got a USB solution to this age old question of the OLD and Tired out LPT and Serial ports?

I am trying to redo my old Rapid-Q application I created to control Model Railroad trains and tracks with. It will do all the track switching and even run the trains in Auto mode. But I can't transfer the code to RB as the old QuickBasic commands are a NO go in RB.

HELP!

Thanks

Jonathon
