Notes on installing OS/2 version of LOD
You may use either GAME_OS2.EXE (character mode) or GAME_PM (presentation
manager w/ graphics) executables.
Remote async code has not been very well tested, Good Luck!!!

NEW: Ability to pass serial handle on command line
You may now pass the file handle of an open com port on the command
line. This is done by using the "/SERHAND" parameter. "/SERHAND" must be
immediately followed by the com port handle with NO spaces inbetween. For
example, "/SERHAND%1" could be used in a batch file to pass the parameter.
Under this calling method, the following changes are performed:
1) The number specified with /SERHAND is assumed to be the file
handle of an open and initialized communications port.
2) The baud rate & comm paramaters are NOT set. This is assumed
to have already been done.
3) The serial port is not shut down on exit.
Certain BBS systems, such as Maximus/2 appear to use this type of
setup. I do not run Maximus/2 and thus cannot test this myself, but it
should work.
