I implemented it as you can see in attachment of this mail.

LPT_InterfaceAblaka.gsmarkup
Description: LPT_InterfaceAblaka.gsmarkup

My first question is: why doesn't show the text in case if title
isEqualToString: @"0" ?

[code]
else if ([title isEqualToString: @"0"])
  {
     // "write logical 0 to the data port"
    [StatLine setStringValue: @"write logical 0 to the data port"];
[/code]

My second question is: why doesn't show up the application icon with the
specified LPT_Interface_48.tiff image but with the GNUstep.tiff image?
I'm using Window Maker as window manager.

My third question is: the code in main.m file:
 ioperm(base,1,1);
 outb((unsigned char)1, base);

must be run with root permissions. How can I achieve this goal in my
application? 

If one want to, may download the application from:
ftp://csanyi-pal.info/objective-c/LPT_Interface.tar.bz2

Any advices will be appreciated!
