Subj : Serial Port Interfacing... To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : Paul De Klerk Date : Fri Jul 16 2004 01:38 pm I need some documentation on how to open the serial com port on a pc / notebook to receive a data string. I should establish communication between a Notebook and an external device. This device will be sending a data string wich must be displayed on the notebook and then stored in a file for further processing. All this should be done in a DOS environment. I'm using Borland C++ version 4.5 Any related information / documentation or similar programs will be appreciated. Please send e-mail to: paul@tes.co.za .
