It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well i tried N it worked to perfection... Thanks a lot Beeseven n Windandwater But there is a small new problem.. In my code written in C using Dev C++ created by Bloodshed (OS: Windows XP) i want to access the serial ports.. I.e send data to them in order to control a motor that is connnected to my computer... I know its easy to do that in win16 using turboC and function outportb()...but in win32 (i.e Dev C++) how do i do it??? I read some info on stuff like win API but a newbie like me found it really really confusing to do it.. are there any simples functions like outport() which i can use in my compiler??? Thanx a lot for all the help guys! Eagerly awaiting ur reply

Thanks a Zillion for the help guys <_<I will try out ur instructions n tell u if it works..I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!
