   From the Usenet Macintosh Programmer's Guide:
You can anonymous ftp a simple C program (source included) called "Capture"
that demonstrates Macintosh serial port control from "noc.byu.edu"
(128.187.7.2).  Get a file in the "pub" directory called "CaptureSit.hqx".
It includes a "LightSpeed 3.x" C project, source code, and resource file.

   It's not there any more.  Does anyone have any idea where I can find it?
   Should I ignore old stuff anyway and concentrate on CTB code?  I'd really
like to get some things written that use my serial ports, but I've been
frustrated at every turn by incomprehensible IM documentation, and inexplicable
problems with my code.  I have yet to successfully open the serial ports,
using the RAM or the ROM drivers.  Every example I've seen has agreed with my
code to the letter, and theirs apparently works.  Mine does not.
   Anyway, if anyone can point me to some sample code, I would be most
appreciative.  I would also like CTB code...  C is the language of choice.

   Thanks very much!
