Any experiences with the various asynch libraries--blaise, greenleaf, etc? Both in a windows app and otherwise. Comparisons? Opinions? ___________________________ Aaron Akman aaron@backyard.bellcore.com 908-699-8019

Both in a windows app and otherwise. Comparisons? Opinions? I used the Greenleaf library in a DOS application a number of years ago. It was quite a comprehensive package, though I did find a somewhat sticky bug. (I think involving flow control.) Though it took a while to resolve, they were pretty good at responding to my queries, and got better at that over time. If you need really high performance (high baud rates, etc.,) you may want to write your own driver, or optimize theirs. For convenient use where high speed (and this is relative to the system performance of your target platform) is not at issue -- particularly if they have a working windows driver -- it seems the preferred way to go. -- Bob Goodearl -- goodearl@world.std.com Principal Software Engineer, Easel Corporation
