Hello,

I have run into a Major problem with the COm ports and need to know if I
solve this with asm. Of course I don't know where to start and was hoping
that someone could give me Help on this. Currently I use CreateProcess "C++"
to open a Batch file that then opens the Dos program. I have run into a
problem with the Dos programs not being allowed to use the Com port if
Win32s had used it. Is there a way of using code in a batch file or in my
C++ program that will make sure that Com1 port is closed "Win32s and Dos"
before it launches the Dos program.



Thanks very much for any suggestions.

Clinton
