HI All: MY FOUR YEAR PORTING PROJECT IS FINALLY COMING TO LIFE. SOME ENDUSER STUFF NEEDS LOOKING AFTER !.
The CommTools for VFP init 8250 begins: nOpen1 = w8250_init(nPortId,COM9,9600, etc COMX COMES FROM FTDI USB TO RS232 DRIVER'S ALLOCATION OF PORTS, BUT OF COURSE IT CAN BE ANY COM NO. I WANT TO PASS THE COM VALUE TO THE INIT ABOVE. VFP(5.0) RETURNS TYPE U FOR ANY COMX. TRIED STRING LITERALS, MACRO'S ETC BUT CANT BEAT TYPE MISMATCH. ARE THERE ANY COMMTOOLS USERS OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP. ALSO SOMETIMES WINDOW 2K, XP, WHICH I USE, FINDS NEW USB HARDWARE WHEN THERE IS NONE. IS THERE A REGISTER ENTRY OR SOMEWHERE TO QUELL THE NEW HARDWARE FLAG. TIA AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS. I DOUBT US EUROPEANS WILL FIND 2012 HAPPY, BUT THE NEWS FROM THE GOOD OLD USA LOOKS PROMISING. BEN BERNANKE GETS HIGH PRAISE OVER HERE. WILLIAM TORMEY.
