Hi Ed,

Are Inp and Out funtions in a later version of VFP? If not is it possible to read and write to a port directly in VFP?

>>Ed Rauh,

>>>Dim PortAddress As Integer

>>>Out PortAddress, nData
>>>text1.text= Inp(PortAddress)

>In your case, Out(0x2E3,128) would send 128 (0x80) out port 0x2E3 (739 decimal). To read from port ox2E0, you'd say Inp(0x2E0).

>Numbers by default are displayed in decimal notation. To display a number in hexidecimal format, use the TRANSFORM() function with the '@0' argument for formatting. For example, to display 739 in hexidecimal notation:

>? TRANSFORM(739,'@0) && prints 0x000002E3
