For you Toolbook pros out there:
I have an application which I'd like to port to Windows 3.0. Since I don't
have either MSC 6.0 or the SDK, I'm considering Toolbook as an alternate
development environment for this application. The only potential snag: the
application must be able to control an external device via a standard serial
port. My question: Can Toolbook make use of a serial port (nothing fancy,
just 1200 bps, 81N)? I looked all through the Toolbook manual's index, as
well as the index for a 3rd-party Toolbook Book ("The Toolbook Companion" or
somesuch), but saw not mention of serial ports, COM: ports, or anything
remotely related.
Can Toolbook handle it?
In addition to Toolbook, what else will I need to accomplish this? (i.e.
will I need some sort of Dynamic Link Library to access the serial port)?
Many thanks in advance.
