- working with the serial port
- Posted by Pegboy on December 4th, 2003
I am updating a utility to capture serial port data that was originally
developed as a DOS app using the outportb() and inportb() routines. I am
trying to re-work it as a Win32 app using Borland C++ 5.02, but am finding
that outportb() and inportb() are not available for a Win32 target. There
is no fancy flowcontrol or packet protocols being used, just simply
capturing incoming serial data.
I am told that I need to use Windows API to do this. Can somebody direct
me to some 'basic' information on this topic?
Thank you for your help.

Thanks, that looks like some good info. Since my post, I've found that
Borland's help files were a good start.
Thanks again.
