Please help ....
I have a hardware based on 8051. I want to interface with PC using USB not parallel port. Would C be able to give instruction from PC or I have to use some other software for that ???....

Yes, you could certainly create programs in C that will comm with your USB port as PC being host. Your 8051 then is required to comply as USB device, either with an integrated or add on controller.
