- Short: SAS 6.56 source code for an object oriented C++ Serial Port class

- This package contains the source code for an object oriented C++ serial port
- class. The basic idea is to make simple access to the serial port trivial.
- The port can be instantiated with few parameters, allowing all else to
- default. Port parameters can be changed on the fly with Set functions.
- Simple character/ubyte or string input output. Character and string IO also
- supported with overloaded stream functions.
-
- I wish I had time to be a full time developer for the Amiga, but can find
- little time as it is. So I am very weak on Amiga specific interface
- programming. This SerialClass program is an attempt to make (at least) one
- aspect of the Amiga easy to code, with little required knowledge of the machine.
- Simply look in the header file for port functionality and GO !
-
- Package contains SerialClass.cc, SerialClass.h and EXAMPLE.cc
-
- This is Version 1.0, and I don't plan on releasing another version, HOWEVER
- I am releasing this into the public domain (stipulations in the file)
- and hope that other people will improve upon and rerelease other versions
- of this code.
-
- Someone may want to create a "DeviceClass" where the SerialClass is a sub-class.
- I started out this way, but got too bogged down.
-
- Comments, are welcome, also if anyone is working object oriented classes
- for the Amiga, I'd be interested in getting a copy.
-
- Wish list :
- Child process or fork class
- Parallel port class
- GUI classes (yes, I know some are available, but more are always
- welcome !)
- Floppy interface class
- SCSI, CD, any and all hardware devices, etc !
