[comp.lang.pascal] RS232 Input in Turbo p. 4

BLUMBERG@BGUVM.BITNET (Dan Blumberg, Dept. Of Geog. Ben Gurion Univ. Israel) (07/24/89)

We are in need to read strings from a measuring unit sending Rs232-C signals.
we tried using the Auxinout unit unsuccessfuly. If any one has experience could
you helkp correcting our programme or give us other ideas. (By the way the prog
ramme worked in Turbo 3 using the com lib).
Program:testaux;
uses:auxinout;
var com1:text;
message: string[15];
begin
assignaux(com1,o,$83);
reset (com1);
readln (com1,message);
close (com1);
end.

This did not work. Do any of you have any ideas?
