I am writing an application using THINK C 4.0 and the Class Libraries. What I am trying to do is respond rapidly to data coming in via the modem port. When one or more character(s) appears on the modem port, I'd like one of my class methods to be called to handle it. Being a total ignoramus on how THINK C works, I want to know if the above can be done without having to poll for IO in the main event loop and call the class method from there. (This is what I'm doing now, and the response is very sluggish) Is this possible using the Serial Driver and THINK C, or will I have to go and get the Comm Toolbox to acheive this? Please e-mail responses. I'll summarize to the net. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tony Gedge | tonyg@batserver.cs.uq.oz.au | |------------------------------------+--------------------------------------| | Computer Science Department, | "A split second is the time between | | University of Queensland, | when you press the return key and | | Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. | when you realize that you've just | | | erased your hard disk." - Unknown | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tony Gedge | tonyg@batserver.cs.uq.oz.au | |------------------------------------+--------------------------------------|
