Since you mention "an LED," and a parallel port, I assume you're tinkering with physical hardware. As of NT4 and 98SE, Windows added a Virtual Device Manager layer in the executive between programs and hardware. It's much more difficult to bit-bang to physical hardware than before. I/O...
If you know pointers in C, you DON'T know pointers in VB. Bluntly, it's difficult to use pointers in VB, and I've had a lot of problems with memory leaks trying to use pointers and SET POINTERNAME=NEW(OBJECT) / SET POINTERNAME=NOTHING. For linked lists and insertion sorts, VB is OK, but don't...
