5dpo: tries to open /dev/ttyUSB0 instead of COM1

Hi,

Windows 7

Trying to use the serial port. After reading various threads on this
site, I compiled / installed Sdposerial.

Running the test program I get an error 'could not open device
dev/ttyUSB0' (Linux?).

Thinking I needed synaser, (listed under 'uses') I compiled and added
that to the project (there were warnings of a duplicate file if I were
to install it). No difference.

I looked through the source files looking for an erronous IFDEF
section to no avail.

As a complete noobie, I realise I don't know what the heck I'm doing,
so any help or comments at all would be very much appreciated!

Do you compile in some weird mode? TP, Macpas, og objective-pascal or
something like that?

There is a Lazarus program here that uses Synapse (and SynaSer):

Panic over.

It was all me.

I changed the relevent property in the object inspector to 'COM1'.
Compiles and runs ok now.

Thanks anyway
