Dan,
If you have a license for Pc-Dmis (portlock) connected to your parallel port, you will be able to use pc-dmis offline. You will get an error message if this portlock was programmed originally to run on a machine, but you should be able to clear the error and work offline.
If you have the portlock currently on your machine and it is version 3, you can run a program while also working off line on the same computer.......Hope this helps
