won't this scrap the old port variable here?

Sorry, might be off-topic here. I can build ykhwong version now, but I am getting this runtime error

1	/* register parallel ports */
2			for (port=0;port < 3;port++) {
3				Bitu port = mem_readw(BIOS_ADDRESS_LPT1+(port*2));
4				if (port != 0) {

The old port variable will be "forgotten" until it is the new one is out of scope.
However, it can be considered confusing at least.

Hi Qbix,
Sorry for late replies. How can I resolve it without breaking the source code?
Thanks
