Hello!
DGD> Rainer,

What about remote serial ports?
DGD> Oops, no. CommV24 is specifically for RS-232 serial
DGD> communications under Windows. It's nice too, with a simple
DGD> interface. CommStreams, however, seems to be for TCP/IP, as it uses the CommTCP driver.
What are you two talking about? CommStreams does NOT USE the CommTCP
driver at all. And the Comm subsystem is NOT meant primarily for the
Internet.
A quote from the docs:
"Module CommStreams defines the interfaces of two types: Stream and
Listener. The interface is designed with reliable
connection-oriented protocols in mind. Implementations of the stream
and listener interfaces provide the actual communication channels. A
TCP/IP implementation which internally uses a "sockets" interface is
a typical example."
See? CommStreams is just an interface for any kind of reliable
connections. TCP/IP is just a typical example.
Attached is my current version of CommV24, documentation included.
I won't mind if Oberon Microsystems includes it in the next version
of the BlackBox distribution.
