I sometimes 'try' to program in oberon - grandson of Pascal.
I used to program in Turbo-Pascal, and the documentation had a nice
set/library of procedures/functions.

Apparently the C-lib is a big part of C. And a big part of it's
problems ?
Are there any libraries available on-line for any of the Wirthian
languages ?
It's dumb to have to derive all the procs from scratch ?

What I want to do immediately is make a: 'Transfer a file between
boxes via the par-port'.

Thanks for info,

Check the SWAG (software archive group) library, they have several
libraries for the parallel port too.

Note however that the parallel port is a legacy device and bound to
vanish from the face of the earth, many newer computer don't have one.
Also, older operating systems up to Win98 came with a utility program
(Laplink) for data transfer between boxes using the parallel port (and a
special cable).
