Where can i get the serial communications library?

[engale]

Hi all,

I want to do serial communications with my PC, and i know there is a librery (ports.h) that can do it!, but i don´t know where can i find it. Can somebody tell me where is it, and so some examples of its use.

Thanx a lot,

Alejandro.

The answer depends on which Operating system and compiler you have.

Hi Salem,

I´m working in Win/2000 and win/me, i Have Turbo C++ 3.0 and Borland C++ 5.05. I don´t know if there is more libraries that handle Serial Communications, I search and found the "Bios.h", but How can i use it?, its very complicated...is´n it?,

Well, anyway, ihope you can help me.

Thanx

Alejandro.

Well I would stick to using the Borland C++ 5.05 compiler. As far as I know, the other one cannot create 32 bit applications. I wouldn't use it for creating any new code.

First stop would be
