PComm Programming Library

The serial communication library helps you develop programs for serial communications for any COM port complying with the Microsoft Win32 API. It facilitates the implementation of multi-process and multi-thread serial communication programs, and consequently greatly reduces developing time.

For a complete library function description and sample programs for Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi, check the help file and the sample programs in the PComm directory.

Utilities

In this section, we give brief descriptions of each utility. For more information about these utilities, see the on-line help from the software diskette.
