Hi everybody

I'm trying to get a list of all the serial ports that are on a machine ie
COM1, COM2 etc. I found an API function called GetSerialPortsList, this
returns a char pointer with all available comm ports in it, However I get
Unresolved external symbol error. Does anyone know how to get this running
or do they know another method for finding the available commports on a
system?

Thanks in advance

Andrew
