/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This program is a simple utility I put together to provide a convenient 
method for someone to install or remove the GiveIO driver.  The GiveIO 
driver was written by Dale Roberts, and is available for download from 
the Dr. Dobbs site at the following address:

http://www.ddj.com/ftp/1996/1996.05/directio.zip 

For convenience, the contents of the directio.zip file are included 
here.  This driver is documented in the May 96 issue of 
Dr. Dobbs Journal in the "Direct I/O and Windows NT" article.  
The purpose of the GiveIO driver is to provide programs with access 
to the system hardware on Windows NT/2000 systems.  By default, these 
operating systems deny access to the system hardware, such as the 
parallel port.  GiveIO opens that access, so a program merely needs 
to make calls to inp and outp to transfer data over the parallel port.
