I need an immediate answer on this one. Today if possible (Sunday 18th). I am having problems controlling the serial port. I want to give the serial port a bigger input buffer but it doesn't seem to want to use it. If I just use the standard buffer I get a software overrun error after 64 character of input. This is exactly what I expect. I allocate a 32K buffer and call SerSetBuf() and then I get a software overrun at about 3 characters. The Inside Macintosh, vol. II, pg. 251 has this written. WARNING: You must lock a new input buffer while it's in use. I'm not sure what they mean by locking the buffer. I don't even attempt to use it for anything else. What do they mean by locking the input buffer? What seems to be my problem? Help? #!/bin/sh #-----------------------------------------------------------------------# echo Bill Thorson thorson@typhoon.atmos.colostate.edu echo Dept of Atmospheric Science (303) 491-8339 echo Colorado State University echo Ft.
