Well, work on the MPIO is going well - I can now detect whether or not the mplayer is plugged into the parallel port.
Hopefully I'll be able to put some code online next week - (I'm away this weekend; so no computer access).
In the meantime there are some provisional pages online at Mpio.Steve.org. uk
After reading the interesting article about the lack of OSS projects using C++ I've decided upon my implementation language..
Actually I probably would have chosen C++ anyway, as its a neat implementation language IMHO - well from the point at which you switch from using it as "C with Classes" to a "real" OO language.
