Fairfax, Va. Lines: 12 Summary:Use bioscom(); You need to use the TurboC function bioscom(). The equivalent TurboC call for that BASIC statement(I had to look it up, honest I don't use BASIC), is: bioscom(0,0xE3,0); This sets up the port the same way. For more or different settings, the TurboC manual provides a short to the point explination. Shawn Masters George Mason University smasters@gmuvax2.gmu.edu
