*** PCLVBW 1.0 Release Notes ***
(1) Always choose LEVEL_8 rather than LEVEL_14 in calling SioFIFO. Windows
is slow, and LEVEL_14 only allows 2 additional characters before an overun.
(2) Be sure to copy PCLVBW.DLL to the directory in which you have installed
Visual Basic so it can be used by the interpreter. Also copy MIO.DLL.
(3) The module SIOERROR.BAS will print the text associated with an error code
returned from any of the PCLVBW functions.
(4) If you will be using the standard PC ports COM1 to COM4, they should be
disabled from Windows's control becuase Windows "vitualizes" all ports it
controls. For example, to disable Windows control of COM1 and COM3 (which
share IRQ3), add
COM1Base=0
COM1Irq=-1
COM3Base=0
COM3Irq=-1
to the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI in the Windows directory.
