- COMM32.PAS
- ==========
-
- Version 1.00
-
- Comm32.pas is a simple Communications VC for Borland Delphi 2.0 which
- demonstrates the Win32 Communications functions and the new Delphi
- 'TThread' class. It is implemented using two threads: one for reading
- from, and one for writing to a Comm Port.
-
- It probably needs to be implemented as a single thread for read/write
- operations if it is needed for any synchronisation functions (such as
- file-transfer algorithms).
-
- I started to create a 'TAPI' component to use in conjunction with this
- component (hence the 'OnRequestHangup' property) but as of this version
- it is incomplete.
-
- USAGE
- =====
-
- To use the component once it is installed:
- 1) Attach an event handler to 'OnReceiveData'.
- 2) Call 'StartComm' to open the port.
- 3) Use the 'WriteCommData' method to write to the Comm port.
- 4) Call 'StopComm' to close the port.
-
- LEGALITIES
- ==========
-
- This component is totally free (along with source code).
-
- If you find it useful then I would appreciate any of the following:
-
- * Comments, Suggestions, Bug finds etc.
- * If you improve the component, please send me a copy of the changes.
- * Source code for any protocols such as Telnet and file-transfer
- (Kermit etc.)
- * A TAPI component
-
- If you want updates to this component and can help out with any of the
- above, just send me some E-mail and I'll put you on my mailing list.
