Using communication ports on Windows XP with Borlad Builder C++... Please HELPPPP!!!!!?

Question

I need to be able to control a device via the parallel and the serial port. The platform is Windows XP and the compiler I'm using is Borland Builder C++. How can I do this if importb and outportb are no longer supported? I know I have to use the CreateFile function. How does this work? Any help will be appreciated!!!
