Hi. It's me again. I am writing a program that requires input from a generic character device. (Such as an internal modem). My problem is that characters will arrive at the modem before I can detect them... because the character device isn't buffered nicely like the built-in serial ports are. I am using GS/OS to read characters from this device, but I can just as well use the Text Tool Set -- whichever would solve my problem. I know I can write an interrupt routine to do this, but I was just wondering if there was an easier way. PLEEZE let there be an easier way! So does anybody know anything about the IIGS out there? -- ===> Josef W. Wankerl, college student | "I am a Viking" -Y.
