Hello:

I like to communicate via serial port (com2 for ex.), I like to set up the 
baud rate, data format, etc.... and just sending and receiving single 
characters. the old "bioscom" seems not supported anymore, is there a simple 
way to do that??

Thanks
Maurice

CreateFile() is used to open com ports.
See the "Communications Resources" heading in the help for CreateFile.

DCB structs are used to get/set com port settings.

ReadFile() is used to read data from the port.
WriteFile() writes data to the port.

Also see the help topic "Communications"

WOW Remy I cannot believe you found those
