Hello, Is there a library of routines someplace (like simtel) for doing interrupt driven i/o from the serial port on a pc? Source would be great, assembly or C is fine. rob

Source would be great, assembly or C is fine. I also am interested, but only if it is a _COMPLETE_ library. All of the libraries I have seen have problems of some sort or another, or are incomplete [ex: you can send a break, but not detect one]. -- L. Scott Emmons uucp: ...[!ucbvax]!ucdavis!csusac!scott

Greenleaf list price is kinds steep ($399) but you can pick it up from distributors for about $220 or so. atc@max.bnl.gov

It's part of the ProDoor system, which is an enchancement of PcBoard, the BBS program. I would guess it's not available on the nets, but I know it's available all over the US on BBS systems-- I had it on mine when I was running it. The latest one I saw was version 2.8, written in Turbo Pascal 5.5. Hope this helps... The data number for the author of the Prodoor package (Sam Smith) is: The Toolshop BBS, (phoneix,Ariz) 279-2673. - Ken Stillson

There is a serial driver available from the Tuzzo Engineering Assoc. bulletin
board ((508) 285-7240, settings N-8-1). It was featured in the May 1989
issue of _Personal Engineering and Instrumentation News_, pages 53-60.
To access the code, from the main menu enter:
J (join a conference)
4 (select the PE&IN conference)
F (read file directories)
2 (select section with code listings, note desired filename)
D (download file)
The file is called ASYNCPEC...
Note: I have downloaded this, but haven't had a chance to try it. Let me
know if you try it!
