I'm looking for some short functions (BC++ compatible) to handle the serial 
port, or a text file describing it... I need functions to write a character,
and to check whether there is an incoming byte (reading it if it's there,
else returning to the main program).  Help!  I was supposed to have this
program finished last week...

(if anyone's interested, it's a Novell network print server, and it works 
great with a parallel printer, but we have several serial laser printers 
(apple), so i need to be able to dump a postscript file to COM2, ignoring
the PS> prompts that are returned...)
