I'm using the Borland C++ 5.5 I tried to use the old method with the library bios.h but this library does not come with the borlad. Propabilbly it can not be use with windows XP. I do not have a very strong experience in C++ someone can help me with a little demo? p.s. I do not know how to use the object programmation. For this reason I need something that will run in a dos shell. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- Back to top JKop Guest Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2004 12:15 pm    Post subject: Re: Serial Kandy posted: Quote: Hi, I need to write a program for use a serial port.

I believe you specify the filename as something like: \*\COM1 msdn.microsoft.com will tell you more. -JKop Back to top Victor Bazarov Guest Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2004 1:36 pm    Post subject: Re: Serial Kandy wrote: Quote: I need to write a program for use a serial port.

C++ as it is discussed here, in comp.lang.c++, does NOT have any mechanisms to access and/or control hardware. You need to use OS-specific means. BTW, 'bios.h' is not a library. It's a header.

I have a serial port platform-independent interface (so we're at least somewhat on-topic and Microsoft-Windows specific implementation in cpp-lib. See http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~gwesp/ .
