Background:

	I have been given a program acquires data from an instrument, and
spits it out com1: in response to queries. The original use was to have the
PC act as a server for another machine. Unfortunately, the sources are not
available.

Problem: What I'd like to do, is create a TSR that intercepts com1: sends in
commands to the program and pipes the output to a file. (Brute force method
is to put in another Com port.)

If you've got any suggestions, pointers or source code, I'd love to see them.

Thanks
