Unfortunately this does not work because of Windows XP's security,
which disallows port io.

How does one ask XP for permission to do the port IO from GNAT?

Thanks

A quick search on "port io from xp" (on ixquick) finds:

http://www.geekhideout.com/iodll.shtml

There is an IO.DLL that does the grubby work for you, so all you have to do 
is use the DLL.
