I'm trying to write a terminal program in TURBO. Would someone tell me how to write a function that tells me when a character is ready for input at the serial port of my CP/M machine???????? Thanks in advance for any help given. Mark Falleroni TRW Ogden, Utah <mdf>

Mark, Suggest you get the files COMDEMO.PAS COMDEMO.DOC CLIB180.DOC CLIB180.INC from DEC-MARLBORO.ARPA, directory TURBO: (If you don't have FTP capabilities, yell and I can mail them to you.) They discuss comm ports with Turbo Pascal in the CP/M environment and provide a fairly full shell for a modem program. Also TKERMIT.LBR in directory CPM.TURBOPAS at our beloved archive, SIMTEL20.ARPA, has a full (well, a shell anyway) KERMIT that uses the CP/M IOBYTE to check the serial port. Nice sample code there too. (Tho that's a little big for mailing). So if you can't reach any of these thru your nets, yell. Regards, David Kirschbaum Toad Hall ABN.ISCAMS@USC-ISID.ARPA
