ActiveX OCX to connect two PCs using a LapLink parallel 
cable ( Turbo cable ) , the connection don't requires any 
other software installed in order to work , it can 
transfer files in any Windows based machine , just plug 
the cable , start the application and the connection is 
ready to be used , the control has a very easy to use 
interface , and very intuitive , the transmission is checked 
for errors during the transfer , and with full error 
handling support capable of reporting any possible error 
that can occur , the transmission occurs in a four bits 
( a nibble ) per accepted clock cicle ( limited to the 
speed of your internal ISA control , normally 1 megahertz ) 
, this limited is based in the 5 bits transfer limit on a 
LapLink cable , then one bit is used for sincronization 
while four is used for transfer of data , the control is in 
a very early stage of development , several new features 
will be added to the future releases , future versions 
may have EPP and ECP support



Notice that several modifications can be introduced in new releases

Operating System Compliance 
 
Important : This control uses a parallel port driver ( that is embedded 
in the control ) to access the printer port on NT based machines , so 
it requires administrative privileges in order to work

Future versions may have the possibility to execute without adminstrative
privileges , but it will at least requires the installation of the driver
in adminstrative mode
