| Parapin makes it easy to write C code under Linux that controls individual pins on a PC parallel port. This kind of control is very useful for |
| electronics projects that use the PC's parallel port as a generic digital I/O interface. Parapin goes to great lengths to insulate the programmer |
| from the somewhat complex parallel port programming interface provided by the PC hardware, making it easy to use the parallel port for digital |
| I/O. By the same token, this abstraction also makes Parapin less useful in applications that need to actually use the parallel port as a parallel |
| port (e.g., for talking to a printer). |
