G'day Jerry,


Got your messages okay but we've been having the odd hiccup down here so
I don't know how long the turnaround is, I even tried netmailing back to
you but have no idea whether it got through.

Please accept my appologies for any intervening outbursts. ;-)

As to readwrite_denynone, if the calling program doesn't open the
port in such a way that 'called' programs can use the handle then
there is little point in providing the handle in the first place.
OS/2 just spits the dummy and causes the child program to error
if it attempts to write or read from the port when it is not allowed
to do so.

To detail it fully would require me re-iterating (deciphering) the OS/2
API for you, suffice to say that if RxAsync can read from and write to
the handle given to it, then it was opened in the appropriate mode.

Cheers, Ian.
