This is the current definition of <serial-stream>:
: <serial-stream> ( path encoding -- duplex )
[ open-r/w dup ] dip <encoder-duplex> ;
But ``open-r/w`` returns a win32-file, not an input-stream or output-stream.
Perhaps this would work:
: <serial-stream> ( path encoding -- duplex )
[ open-r/w [ <input-port> ] [ output-port> ] bi ] dip
<encoder-duplex> ;
It makes sure to turn the win32-file handle into input and output streams
first.
If you get it working, I'd love a pull request with fixes, any
documentation you cared to write, and any tests that could run on a default
windows VM. :-)
Best,
John.
