I am new to linux and wrote only small things for MS-DOS before. As far 
as I could read on the internet, fpc uses ioperm and iopl, and I will 
try to use iopl to get access to the ports I want to use. The problem is 
indeed the rights management, as far as I can read on several web pages, 
which addresses my technical problem. The rights management cannot be 
ruled out by an application like I intend to write. But I can deal with 
it, I hope so far.

My posts to this list are not written against any person. My problem is 
not an interpersonal problem, but a technical question, and I try to 
find a good answer to it.
