Driving the parrallel port in WindowXP

Posted by Kory Hamzeh

I have a CNC application that I would like to write and I need to decide
it if should be DOS based or Windows. I would like to write it in
Windows because I want the UI to be graphical, but I do have concerns
about driving the parallel port reliably and consistently (timing wise).
Are there any API's, docs, or tricks for this? Another option would be
Linux, which I have a lot of experience with, but I'm not certain now
many machinists use Linux for CNC.

Regards,
Kory
