I agree that keeping up with all the latest rules, the latest ins-and-outs, etc., can be difficult. Even impossible, given all the technological advances going on in all areas of our personal and professional lives. My program -- the Palm OS Emulator -- runs on three platforms, and I have to be aware of all the different goings-on on all those platforms (Mac -> Classic and OS X, Carbon and Cocoa; Windows -> 95, 98, ME, NT, 2K, XP; Unix -> RedHat Linux (6.x and 7.x), SuSe Linux, Mandrake Linux, Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Debian, gcc 2.x and 3.x ... Aiiii!). So I can understand where you're coming from. But perhaps in this area, I can help. Take a look at the SerialPortTools.cpp file that comes with the ROM Transfer application that comes with Poser. In it, I try to identify all the different versions of the Serial Manager and use the latest version that's available. Anyone can feel free to use this code in their projects. (However, I don't claim to be the expert in this area, so if you see any bugs in there, please let me know!) -- Keith -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
