-@noindent
-On Windows NT, 2000, and XP user applications cannot directly access the
-parallel port. However, kernel mode drivers can access the parallel port.
-giveio.sys is a driver that can allow user applications to set the state
-of the parallel port pins.
-
-Before using AVRDUDE, the giveio.sys driver must be loaded. The
-accompanying command-line program, loaddrv.exe, can do just that.
-
-To make things even easier there are 3 batch files that are also
-included:
-
-@enumerate
-@item install_giveio.bat
-Install and start the giveio driver.
-
-@item status_giveio.bat
-Check on the status of the giveio driver.
-
-@item remove_giveio.bat
-Stop and remove the giveio driver from memory.
-@end enumerate
-
-These 3 batch files calls the loaddrv program with various options to
-install, start, stop, and remove the driver.
-
-When you first execute install_giveio.bat, loaddrv.exe and giveio.sys
-must be in the current directory. When install_giveio.bat is executed it
-will copy giveio.sys from your current directory to your Windows
-directory. It will then load the driver from the Windows directory. This
-means that after the first time install_giveio is executed, you should 
-be able to subsequently execute the batch file from any directory and have
-it successfully start the driver.
-
-Note that you must have administrator privilege to load the giveio driver.
