- I have just resently started programing in the Windows 3.1 environment.
-
- I have been trying to figure out the serial capability using windows.
-
- My questions are as follows:
-
- 1) How do I read and write to a serial port?
-
- 2) How fast can Windows received data without data being over-
- written in the serial's data register? In other words,
- does Windows have a serial buffer, if so how fast can the serial
- data be retrieved?
-
- 3) When working with the serial port is there any special
- consideration that needs to be taken into account?
-
- Thanks for the help,
-
- Stephen
