About J_Pooria Expertise I`m a retired Pascal Programmer! I can answer most questions about regular and specially system programming. I can help with computer mathematics and algorithms, runtime bugs and program troubleshooting, system programming, TSR programs, Graphics, Data Structures, Data Types, and of course questions about files, structured programming, basics of Pascal, etc... .
I can also help about "Turbo Pascal" and "Borland Pascal".
My major experience is in dos, so I can`t answer platform-dependent or compiler-dependent questions about Linux, UNIX, Mac, etc and their compilers.

Answer Hello dear Andrew,
I think at first I have to ask you to excuse me for answering late.I had been on a long holiday,and I had forgotten to check questions pending after my returning.
Actually I haven't done experiences in "this" field of system programming,so I first suggest you asking one of other experts here to answer this, since they may guide you much better than what I may try to,but I also want to mention some hints you may find helpful.First of all if you use Turbo Pascal(as it seems you use it),you may learn too much in the "Help" part of it's IDE(programming environment).Second is that I'm nearly sure that Turbo Pascal Package units have functions for accessing ports,so you need not to use units other than it's standard units.I think just by seraching the help part you will find suitable units and functions or procedures you may need for your program.
