Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / August 2004

ok, now everybody stop laughing.

i have a very old app i wrote a very long time ago for a very
good client.

the app communicates with their hardware devices via the mac
serial port.  we did this in pascal a really long time ago, and it's
been working fine for years.

they've asked me to 'carbonize' this thing, and i've been reading
thru this forum,  as well as apple's developer documentation, in
an attempt to learn how to do serial i/o under os-10.   as a lot of
you already know, it ain't pretty.

i don't have any of the headers needed to do this stuff (iokit, etc.),
since i'm using an old copy of code warrior (cw7, ide version 4.6.2)
and i'm starting to get the feeling that this just isn't possible.

could someone advise me as to if (and if so, how) i can do serial i/o
under os-10 using this old (but well loved) version of CW?

thanks in advance.
