Could someone direct me to some specific information regarding interfacing with
the parallel port.  If the IO functions need to be implemented in C, then how
do I bring it into LISP.  I have heard of foriegn functions, but I can't find
specific information.

Thanks,

Doug

In order to receive useful answers to this question, it would be
necessary for you to state which platform, operating system and
parallel port you want to access, using which implementation of Common 
Lisp.  Otherwise the readers of the newsgroup would have to have
mind-reading capabilities... ;)

Regs, Pierre.
