   Hi, I'm trying to send 8 bits to the lpt port.   
   I'd like to use VB 6.0.  Can this be done?   
   VB can send data to a printer, but can it   
   go as low as actually sending bits?  I think   
   VB can only send bytes.  If VB can only send   
   bytes.  Can the bits in the bytes be specific?   
   Can I send  ,  1 0 1 0 0 0 1 , out the 8 pins   
   of the printer port?   
      
   I want to control a 8255 PPI IC. The 8255   
   has 8 data bits , the Control Word.   
   There are 16 Control Words.   
   I got a list box for each 16 Control Word.   
   Now how to send these bits via VB to the   
   lpt port.   
      
   thanks   
   Ed
