1. Comm.Question
--I 'd like to use COM ports in euphoria (W32). If I do:
hCom=open("COM1","wb")
hCom=-1
--when I did:
xCreateFile= linkFunc(kernel32,"CreateFileA",{C_POINTER, C_LONG, C_LONG,
C_POINTER, C_LONG, C_LONG, C_LONG },C_INT)
NULL})
printf(1,"\nhCom=%d",hCom)
--hCom=12
-- GetCommState, BuildCommDCB, SetCommState works with hCom
--and
puts(hCom,"something")
-- then the message "file number 12 is not open"
Please help me!
Thanks, Attila Kondor

Windows file handles, as far as I know, are not compatible with Euphoria's
file numbers. You need to use the Windows API to read and write using
Windows file handles.
Also, check out serial.e. I haven't tried using it under exw, but it might
work.

There is a parallel port library that I put together a wrapper for (by
looking at what everyone else was doing) that i beleive can also acess
serial ports. You might check it out...

Hi Monty in Oregon,
How do we configure the port for the different modes? ECC, EPP, etc? How do
we tristate the port? How do we know if it's configured for 8out/4in and
change it to 8out/8in? How do we know if the ClkIn has been toggled?

Hi Kat,
Good questions. I really don't know. I just hacked together the
wrapper, watched the little lights blink on the PP monitor, and forgot about
it. I was hoping someone somewhere someday might be able to use it.
I didn't create the .dll, but was hoping some day to maybe use it to
control a simple robot from a windows library using high low sigs, etc. I
just mentioned this because I remembered that although it was intended for
PP's I thought they mentioned serial as well.
Sorry to be so unsupported or un-informative, but I am not the greatest
programmer in the world...I just like to play. (if it gets too complicated
I look at it and try to absorb it through osmosis, and go to the next)
Love some of the stuff you do though !
