the whole Comm stuff is completely diff. under 32bit.
There are a couple of good freeware and shareware delphi comps out there,
and you will prob. have to go down the path of converting your code to deal
with it.....horrible I know, but.....

Subject: [DUG]: Serial Comms / OpenComm functions
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.
