I am looking at porting a Delphi 1 app to Delphi 4. I have it all
ported except for a serial component that is embedded fairly extensively
in the app.
The component is TMSComm by Jeff Atwood which is a fairly simple wrapper
around the MSComm control. I have not been successful in tracking down a
later version of the component nor contacting the author so I intend to
port the component to Win32 (we have the source) or replace it with
another component.
Question is that the component (which runs well under D1/Win9x) uses
calls to things like OpenComm(..) function which is defined in
WinProcs.pas under D1.
I assume they functions have some sort of equivalents under D4 but where
can I find them? Does anyone know of any documentation that lists what
happened to the comm functions & defines?
The alternative is to use another component like Async32 or TComPort but
I am wary of trying to bolt in another component as a lot of the serial
components seem to have subtle variations that can lead to grief.
