[go for it, line-eater!]
I should start by saying that I am a good unix hacker, but a sub-novice
DOS user. My request deals with an XT-clone running DOS 3.something.
I am aware of programs which print data from a file while the user
merrily runs other programs. My requirement is the converse (?).
Computer A, of unimportant type, is "printing" at 300 baud, XON/XOFF,
to what it thinks is a serial printer. Computer A is _really_ attached
to my XT clone via a serial link. I need to shuttle all that serial
data to a file, all day long, while I merrily run other programs. At
the end of the day (or week, whatever), I want to gracefully stop the
spooling program, and analyze the collected data.
I would prefer to accomplish this all in C, but I suspect that alot of
assembler is required.
At this point, I would be greatful for pointers to good literature, but
I would be extremely glad if someone had more specific Advice.
Thanks in advance,
--joe.
