-------- Well , I am sorry for the above post regarding
Keygenerators/Cracks which is totally out of context. It was meant to
be a separate post and please reply to it on the thread dedicated to
it on comp.security.misc

As for the answer to my question,I still haven't understood if one
could 'fool the computer into believing there is a device connected to
the parallel port when none is '

I repeat my query... when can this be done.
Say, if the O.S is being loaded during boot-up ,can I have some
assembly code running to fool it right there?
When can this program that 'fools my computer' be loaded in
WindowsXP,Linux?
I believe this can be done once the O.S. is loaded,but can I make
another program that makes sure it gets the correct information
regarding the states of the pins.Basically, I want to read the pins
and make sure no 'diruptive program' is changing my data
register/status registers.
Please read my previous post.Hope that the problem is well understood.
Thanks
Karan
