What''s the easiest way to open up a com port and spit some text out it? HANDLE hComFile; CreateFile("Com1",... SetCommDCB (or whatever) is their a way with less stuff? Like an OpenComm(1, 9600, 8, 0, noparity); ?

quote:
FILE *fp = fopen("COM1");

If that doesn't work try this:

quote:
FILE *fp = fopen("COM1:");

At least I think that would work as it is possible to redirect stuff to COMx: in the shell in Windows...

I'm reminded of the day my daughter came in, looked over my shoulder at some Perl 4 code, and said, "What is that, swearing?" - Larry Wall

I thought about that, but then how do you set the speed/parity/stop ?
