Hello everybody...
I'm new here (But not to FIDONet... So I know how to behave :)...
But anyway, I was wondering if anybody knows how to use the COM ports in
Euphoria? I have a Qbasic terminal program I made, but it has overflows
because of the speed of the interpreter, and I can't compile it into an
EXE.
(There is a BaudControl subroutine that sets the COM port to more than
9600)
Basically, here is what I need to know:
How to use the COM port.
How to tell if data is ready to be received from the COM port.
How to set the baud rate.
Thanks in advance... BTW, I only have E-Mail... No Internet access.

Well, with Qbasic 4.5, you *can* compile into exe format, and the
only way that I know of accessing ports directly with EU is to use either
the adress of the device or the interupt.
If you have uudecoding technology I will give you qbasic 4.5, or
if you don't i will give you doth a decoder and the zip file.

On the Euphoria user contributions page there's a good example of
COM port I/O for Euphoria written by Peter Blue.
Since you don't have Web access I'm attaching serial.zip to this
message (it's only 3K or so).

it's uuencoded. someone posted a encoder/decoder awhile ago. perhaps
Craig should put these files up on the Euphoria page when you subscribe
to the list, that way everybody has them, or at least knows there will
be uuencoded attachments.

and_bits() is (since Euphoria 1.5) a built-in function. Older
releases (1.4-) didn't came woth this function (and or_bits,
xor_bits...), so Jacques Deschenes contributed his version (available
at RDS homepage). Check that you are using the latest (1.5b) version
of Euphoria.

Re: can't get serial.e to work!
and_bits() is in the latest version of Euphoria. You must have been trying
that with 1.4. Try downloading 1.5 and seeing if it will work with the new
version (I should expect it will).

I would *REALLY* love to download 1.5... But around here 1.4 is the
latest that can be found.... Fortunately, there is a friendly Sysop
around... I'm sure he'd be willing to download 1.5 for me..... (I don't
have any internet access and he does. I have Juno which means that
uuencoded or debug scripted files are all I can get...)
I'll get the Sysop to download it and I should have it by tonight or
Thursday latest.

As you will note I use Juno also and have been able to do Archie and
Gopher searchs via E-mail. Then do anonymous FTP requests for files. Got
a copy of F-prot that way.
Go to your local library and get a copy of "The Internet Complete
Reference" by Hahn and Stout. It has a very good explanation of how to do
a lot of things via e-mail that most people do on-line. Of course you
have to have patience E-Mail isn't as fast as a TCP/IP connection. <BG>
