[rescue] Solaris Parallel Port Programming

parallel port programming ...

I dunno. What I'd _really_ like to do is have some simple routine that let
me set the various parallel port lines "high" or "low" from a shell script.
I don't know whether that would require "bare metal" programming or whether
I can use the driver.

I'll have a look.  I've never done that sort of thing, either, but I've made
a career out of doing things that haven't been done before....

I'd still love a pointer to some code I could just steal, though, if anyone
has one.
