I am running a program called Vee 5.0 (more specifically Hp Vee - pre
break up with HP). It is running on windows 98 and I am trying to get
information from the serial port. All IO libraries have been installed
and the data can be seen entering the serial port using Hyperterminal.
On running my Hp vee program I can get some data through as long as it
is not in a text string ( the required input) and only works at very low
data speeds. The program just freezes and stops responding.

I have the same setup on another computer and it works perfectly well -
Is there a simple solution to the problem?

cheers

slow down the serial port?  or change the serial cable?  maby that PCs
serial ports are just knackered?
