1. Driving COM ports
Hello there you Euphoric people.
I have just written a moderately big database program in Euphoria with
Win32Lib using the IDE. So far so good. But there seems to be no support
for driving the serial ports of the PC. I have some code I have got off
the EU site but that is just giving me access to the 16550 UARTs so I
can push and pull bytes to it. I have to use a timer interrupt to test
for received bytes. Not nice.
Does anyone have a clean-ish package to drive the COM ports with
interrupt I/O, so it can be driven as if a system character device? Or
does anyone know where I can get one .... etc etc.
Thanks
Andy

There's a much simpler explanation, written for Delphi, using Win32 calls,
which should be fairly easy to translate to Euphoria:
