Dear Bruce:
I have a side question regards to keyboard.
Do you know off any tools out there that accept input from the COMM ports
and re-direct it into the keyboard buffer?
I have a DOS 4GL application that I am thinking of porting it to OS/2.
There exist an OS/2 runtime however the runtime have no support for COMM
ports.  My application utilizes barcodes.  In the DOS environment I utilize
a 3rd party TSR to accept raw input from the scanner attached to the COMM
port.  The input is read and stuff into the keyboard buffer.  My
application thinks that an operator have keyed in the input.  In the 4GL
the command to obtain input is ... "ACCEPT ..." and it assumes
that input is keyed in from the console or keyboard.  So, I am looking for
anything out there to me to achieve this.
Thx.
