serial programming: OpenComm and etc.,

Hello, there:

I am now doing the serial port communication programming. I have some sample code which uses the OpenComm, ReadComm, WriteComm and CloseComm routine. According to MSDN, they are now retired under Win NT and other platform.

My questions are:

1. What platforms are still avaiable for these routines? Win3.1, yes, Linux?

2. What are the alternatives for them under WinNT/2000/XP...?

3. The programs will be ported to the microcontroller eventually, are they still avaiable?

BTW, I'm not supposed to use C++ class.

Any answer to any of the above questions is highly appreciated.

yours,
Sway

I posted complete sample code (easily made non-Object oriented), uses no controls or existing c++ classes. :o

One should alway look before one asks...... :mad:
