Borland's C++ Builder has done a lot to help make Win95 programming easier and, once you know the tricks, the serial communications stuff is pretty easy, too. Yet, everything I knew seemed upside-down in the message-driven-callback world of Windows.Īfter spending lots of money on books and seemingly endless effort, I have finally gotten enough of a handle on Win95 and serial comm programming to write something usable in this environment. Interrupt driven serial comm, DMA transfer serial comm, TSR serial comm, C, assembler, various processors. It was particularly frustrating because I had, over the years, written so much stuff (including lots of serial comm software) for the DOS environment and numerous embedded applications.
I, like many programmers, was hit with the double-whammy of having to learn Windows programming and Win95 serial comm programming at the same time.

I wish this site had been around when I was trying to figure out how to make serial communications work in Windows95. I dontated you 150 points incase you see any ebooks etc you may need Very often download versions dont have added bits and bobs. Youll find the patchers dont add to the samples folder So the code will all run fine if you get a nice shinny new compilerĭONT rely on compiler patches and updates get a latest disk copy
