subject: RXASYNC - Serial I/O

On the 03-12-95, Mike Stella was chatting with Jerry Mcbride:

MS> JM> dos COMPORT number, instead of the os2 comhandle number...
MS> JM> This is what I was speaking of.

MS>   (sigh)  I ought to pay more attention.  So you have a program that passes
MS> the com handle, and you really want the com port.  Hardcode 
MS>it?

1. Com port NAME    ie. COM2
2. Com port HANDLE  ie. 6
3. Com port ADDRESS ie. 2F8h
4. none of the above.

Pick one.

RxAsync only does 1 & 2 (I would have thought that that was sufficient).

You need a DLL that has functions for direct port IO for itme 3 (There's
source for this in COMOS2.ZIP, and I think something in FILERX.ZIP).

As to item 4, be buggered if I know what you mean. #;-))))))

 Cheers, Ian.
