Winecfg and port access

[Christian Schmitz]

HI:
	Thanks for you answer but i dont know how program these lines for control 
ioperm(). Yes my system is Suse Linux 9.3 with kde upgraded 3.4.1

I solve the problem (in old wine) of this way:

	In the old file config i write

[ppdev]
"378" = "/dev/parport0"
[ports]
"read"  = "0x779,0x378-0x37f,0x280-0x2a0"
"write" = "0x779,0x378-0x37f,0x280-0x2a0"

I set the attributes
crw-rw-rw-  1 me root 99, 0 2005-03-19 16:36 /dev/parport0
crw-rw-rw-  1 lp lp    6, 0 2005-03-19 16:36 /dev/lp0

and add Myuser to the lp group.

With all this i get the right of access.

Maybe if you sendme a clue maybe i can make the wrapper.

	Thanks
